Embodiment Construction

[0043] The intragastric balloon according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 .

[0044] The intragastric balloon 1 according to the invention is intended for implantation in the stomach of a patient for the treatment of obesity.

[0045] The balloon 1 is inflatable and for this purpose comprises at least one first bag 2 which is sufficiently flexible to transition from a reduced-volume configuration to an expanded configuration. The reduced-volume configuration may for example correspond to the configuration of the balloon 1 in the collapsed position occupying a reduced space, thereby facilitating the insertion of the balloon 1 into the esophagus.

[0046] In fact, the implantation of the intragastric balloon 1 according to the invention is carried out by passing the intragastric balloon 1 through the oral-oesophageal passage in a folded, compressed or relaxed form, generally in a conventional manner known to those skilled in the ar...

Abstract

Expandable intragastric balloon (A) for implantation inside the stomach in treatment of obesity, comprises a first pocket (2), supple enough to convert from a reduced volume configuration to an expanded configuration, and having an orifice (3) and a sealing device (4) to block (3). Expandable intragastric balloon (A) for implantation inside the stomach in treatment of obesity, comprises a first pocket (2), supple enough to convert from a reduced volume configuration to an expanded configuration, and having an orifice (3) and a sealing device (4) to block (3). The new features are that (a) (2) has a neck (5) extending from (3) and defining a passage (6), between the inside and outside of (2), in which (4) is situated and (b) (A) includes an element (7) for fixing (4) on (5), designed to exert sufficient pressure on (5) to grip it, between (4) and (7), to ensure fixing of (4) on (2) and the water tightness of (2). An independent claim is also included for a method of preparing (A). ACTIVITY : Anorectic. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Artificial reduction in stomach volume, inducing a feeling of satiety.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the general technical field of devices capable of being implanted in the human body, designed for the treatment of obesity, in particular morbid obesity; more particularly, the invention relates to a device capable of reducing the volume of the stomach in order to, inter alia, induce a feeling of satiety in the patient implants. [0002] The present invention relates to an inflatable intragastric balloon designed to be implanted in the stomach of a patient for the treatment of obesity, the balloon comprising: [0003] - a first bag sufficiently flexible to transition from a reduced-volume configuration to an expanded configuration, and the first bag is provided with at least one port; [0004] - a second bag arranged for receiving the first bag and provided with at least one hole; [0005] - a seal fastened to the second bag, the seal being designed to seal said port and said aperture. [0006] The invention also relat...
