Embodiment Construction

[0058] Apparatuses, systems and / or methods implementing embodiments of the various features of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings and corresponding descriptions are provided to illustrate certain embodiments of the invention and not to limit the scope of the invention. Throughout the figures, reference numerals are repeated to indicate consistency between referenced elements.

[0059] Figure 2A An esophageal implant device 205 implanted in the patient's esophageal junction between the esophagus 206 and the stomach 200 is illustrated. These devices may also be referred to as intragastric devices. As shown, the esophageal implant device 205 is secured within the lumen of the esophagus by anchoring the esophageal implant device 205 in place through the plurality of holes 220 via the tissue fixation device 215 . That is, each of the plurality of holes 220 may have its own corresponding tissue fixation device 215 . In a...

Abstract

Generally described herein are apparatus, systems and methods related to a novel esophageal device implantable in the patient's body and designed to replicate the restrictive and satiety mechanism associated with gastric banding systems known in the art. The device can be a compliant and tubular-shaped and fixated within the gastro-esophageal lumen using tissue anchors.

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Patent Application Serial No. 13 / 356,401 filed January 23, 2012, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by this specific reference. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to medical systems, devices and uses thereof for the treatment of obesity and / or obesity-related diseases. More specifically, the present invention relates to an implant for mimicking one or more satiety inducing mechanisms associated with gastric banding systems. Background technique [0004] Gastric banding devices have provided an effective and substantially less invasive alternative to gastric bypass surgery and other traditional surgical methods of weight loss. Although invasive weight loss procedures, such as gastric bypass surgery, have had positive outcomes, it has been recognized that laparoscopically placed gastric bands (eg, (Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA) gastric band or LAP-BAND ...
