摘要 |
The present invention relates to a device (1) that can be implanted in the small intestine, comprising: - a frame (2) with a substantially conical proximal end (21); - a sheath (4) for limiting nutrient absorption through the wall of the small intestine, and comprising a substantially conical proximal end (41), the sheath (4) covering the frame (2) such that the substantially conical proximal end (41) of the sheath (4) lies on the substantially conical proximal end (21) of the frame (2), and means for connecting the frame (2) to the sheath (4) forming a single connection between the substantially conical proximal end (21) of the frame (2) and the substantially conical proximal end (41) of the sheath (4). |
