Abstract

This invention disclosed methods and devices for effecting a gastric restriction system, further, related to sensor trigger. In one exemplary embodiment, a restriction system for forming a restriction in a patient is provided and can include an implantable restriction device and at least one implantable sensor that is in communication with the restriction device. In general, the implantable restriction device can be adjustable and can be configured to form a restriction in a patient. The implantable sensor(s) can be defaulted to a dormant power usage mode and can have a triggering mechanism that is configured to place the sensor(s) in a use configuration upon the occurrence of a triggering event.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for influencing a gastric restriction system, in particular for activating a sensor of the gastric restriction system. Background technique [0002] Obesity is a growing concern, especially in the United States, as the number of obese people continues to grow and the negative health effects of obesity are gradually being understood. Morbid obesity, in which people weigh 100 pounds or more above their ideal weight, in particular poses a significant risk of developing serious health problems. Accordingly, a great deal of attention has been focused on treating obese patients. One approach to treating morbid obesity is to place a restriction device, such as an elongated band, around the upper portion of the stomach. Gastric bands typically include a fluid-filled elastic balloon with fixed ends that surrounds the stomach immediately below the junction of the esophagus and stomach, forming a small gastric pouc...
