| 发明名称 | Bariatric device and method | ||
| 摘要 | A bariatric device and method of causing at least partial satiety in a patient, includes positioning a body in a recipient, the body having a wall defining a lumen, the wall configured to generally conform to the shape and size of at least the abdominal portion of the esophagus and the proximal cardiac portion of the stomach. Force is exerted with the wall on the proximal cardiac portion of the stomach in the absence of food thereby activating receptors located in the proximal cardiac portion of the stomach, thereby influencing a neurohormonal feedback mechanism of the patient to cause at least partial satiety by augmenting fullness caused by food and simulating fullness in the absence of food. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A bariatric device, comprising a body having a wall defining a lumen, said wall configured to generally conform to the shape and size of at least the abdominal portion of the esophagus and the proximal cardiac portion of the stomach, wherein said wall is adapted to exert force on the abdominal portion of the esophagus and the proximal cardiac portion of the stomach in the absence of food thereby activating receptors located in the abdominal portion of the esophagus and the proximal cardiac portion of the stomach, thereby influencing a neurohormonal feedback mechanism of the patient to cause at least partial satiety by augmenting fullness caused by food and simulating fullness in the absence of food. | ||
