    摘要: Generally described herein are automatic, self-adjusting, gastric banding systems and improvements thereof, that are capable of automatically relaxing and contracting in response to a large bolus passing through the area of a patient's stomach constricted by a gastric band. Alternatively, and/or in addition in one or more embodiments, the gastric banding systems described herein may also help prevent pouch dilatation and/or erosion. The apparatus and systems described herein aid in facilitating obesity control and/or treating obesity-related diseases while generally being non-invasive once implanted. Furthermore, certain embodiments of the self-adjusting gastric banding systems disclosed herein are automatically adjustable without complicated fluid control mechanisms, flow rate limiting devices, and/or valves. The automatic adjustments may also be made in response to other changes in the patient's esophageal-gastric junction, for example, in response to size, shape, and or location changes.

    摘要: Transoral obesity treatment devices and related methods for operation thereof are described which occupy space within a stomach and/or stimulate the stomach wall. The transoral obesity treatment devices and related methods are intended to assist a patient in maintaining a healthy body weight. Features of the devices include insertion transorally and without invasive surgery, without associated patient risks of invasive surgery, and without substantial patient discomfort. The life span of these devices may be material-dependent upon long-term survivability within an acidic stomach, but is intended to last one year or longer. The devices have the capacity to vary in size and are desirably self-actuating in that they change shape and/or volume using internal motors or actuators. The changing character of the devices helps prevent the person's stomach from compensating for the implant, such as sometimes happens with static intragastric devices.

    摘要: A self-adjusting gastric band is automatically adjustable without complicated fluid control mechanisms, flow rate limiting devices, and/or valves. The self-adjusting gastric band may automatically adjust to allow a large bolus of food to pass through a constriction in the patient's stomach formed by the gastric band. The self-adjusting gastric band comprises an inflatable portion that is disposable about an esophageal-gastric junction of the patient. A first compliant portion is coupled to the inflatable portion. The first compliant portion automatically relaxes the constriction formed by the self-adjusting gastric band and allows the large bolus to pass through the constriction. After the bolus passes through the constriction, the self-adjusting gastric band automatically returns to its previous state.

    摘要: Generally described herein are apparatus, systems and methods related to a mechanical interlock joint geometry for various components and joining of components thereby creating a reliable seal against fluid leaks that is resistant at typical pressures experienced when the components are implanted into a human body. Furthermore, the seal may be enhanced when a fluid pressure exerted inside the components is increased (e.g., from 1 to 10 psi).

    摘要: The present invention generally relates to medical systems and apparatus and uses thereof for treating obesity and/or obesity-related diseases, and more specifically, relates to systems and methods for energy recovery in a laparoscopically-placed gastric banding system operably coupled to a piezo actuator. The energy recovery may be obtained utilizing an energy recovery device, such as an inductor, coupled to the piezo actuator. The energy recovery device may utilize two circuits to facilitate energy recovery, and the two circuits may include diodes with opposite orientations to control current flow.
