Summary:Residence devices as well as their related methods of manufacture and use are generally provided. In some embodiments, a residence device includes a plurality of self-assembling structures that assemble in vivo to form an aggregate structure. Each structure of the plurality of structures includes a first side and a first attachment point that attaches to a second attachment point on another structure of the plurality of structures. The aggregate structure may be sized and shaped to maintain an in vivo position relative to an internal orifice of a subject. The attachment between the first and second attachment points may degrade after a period of time. L'invention concerne de manière générale des dispositifs à demeure et leurs procédés associés de fabrication et d'utilisation. Dans certains modes de réalisation, un dispositif à demeure comprend une pluralité de structures d'auto-assemblage, qui s'assemblent in vivo pour former une structure d'agrégat. Chaque structure de la pluralité de structures comprend un premier côté et un premier point de fixation qui s'attache à un second point de fixation sur une autre structure de la pluralité de structures. La structure d'agrégat peut être dimensionnée et formée pour maintenir une position in vivo par rapport à un orifice interne d'un sujet. La fixation entre les premier et second points de fixation peut se dégrader après une certaine période de temps.
