It has a variable volume cavity (2) filled with a liquid a system adjusts the volume of liquid in the cavity, which includes a control box (9), connected to the cavity (2) by a pipe (7), which is designed to be implanted in the patient's body. The device also includes a reservoir (11) designed to be implanted in the patient's body and to be connected to the control box (9), or incorporated in it. The control box (9) has an electrical energy source (37), an electronic control unit (28) and an electrically driven pump (22,44) controlled by the unit (28), so as to transfer liquid in a closed circuit between the reservoir (11) and the cavity (2) of the gastric strap (2). |
