APPARATUS FOR SIMULATING THE FUNCTION OF HUMAN STOMACH AND/OR HUMAN INTESTINE

摘要

Provided is an apparatus for simulating the function of a human stomach and/or intestine. The apparatus comprises a flexible vessel (10; 100), and a plurality of constriction mechanisms (20), wherein each of the constriction mechanisms (20) is disposed annularly around the outer circumference of the vessel (10; 100), and an inner diameter of each of the constriction mechanisms (20) is variable such that the vessel (10; 100) can be locally and annularly constricted.
