Magnetic gastric reduction device

摘要

A magnetic gastric reduction device (300) includes magnetic elements (335) adapted to couple to a stomach (S) and a sensor adapted to detect stomach properties. The device also includes a control device (314) operably coupled to the magnetic elements. The control device is adapted to operably communicate with the sensor and is configured to control the magnetic elements based on a property of the stomach detected by the sensor to cause the magnetic elements to selectively compress or decompress the stomach.
