    摘要: An ingestible gastric volume reduction device (100) is provided that is controllably adjustable between an expanded state and a contracted state. A control subsystem within the device is able to selectively transition the device between both states. Such control can be by way of a biological or chemical sensor (102) in the device, a wireless (RF) receiver (104), or timer. Thus activation of the device whether to expand and fill a gastric volume or to contract to open up the gastric volume may be achieved from internal control (within device) or external control (to the device). The device may be used for patient treatment, by administering the device (e.g., through ingestion) to a gastric region and then controllably increasing and/or decreasing the volume of the device during treatment.

    摘要: A bariatric device and method of causing satiety in a patient includes providing a body having a wall defining a lumen. The wall is sized to conform to the shape and size of the abdominal portion of the esophagus and/or at the esophageal-gastric junction and/or the proximal cardiac portion of the stomach of the patient. The wall is adapted to exert radial pressure on the abdominal portion of the esophagus and/or the esophageal-gastric junction, and/or the proximal stomach, or cardia, of the patient. This influences the neurohormonal feedback mechanism present at the distal esophagus and the cardia to cause at least partial satiety by augmenting fullness caused by food and simulating fullness in the absence of food.
