Patent

CA 2438409

The invention relates to three medico-surgical elements, such as (i) an intragastric balloon, (ii) a valve for regulating postoperative inflation and the percutaneous gastronomy technique with endoscopic control and (iii) a novel means for fixing the assembly that prevents the migration of the balloon. The inventive intragastric balloon assembly comprises a silicon balloon which is provided with a fixed inflation catheter and an attachment consisting of a silicon tube that is bigger at the balloon inlet. Said silicon tube acts as a tension support and is fixed to the aponeurosis by means of a plate that can be adjusted as required, said adjustable plate being secured to the aponeurosis with suture points or metal clips. Once said elements have been secured, the support is cut and the catheter is connected to an inflation valve which is placed under the skin and which is secured to the aponeurosis with points or clips.

L'invention concerne trois éléments médico-chirurgicaux, tels qu'un ballon intragastrique, une valve permettant de réguler le gonflage postopératoire et la technique de gastronomie percutanée avec contrôle endoscopique, et un moyen novateur de fixation de l'ensemble destiné à empêcher la migration du ballon. Cet ensemble ballon intragastrique comprend un ballon de silicone muni d'un cathéter à gonflage fixe et d'un matériel d'appoint qui consiste en une barre de silicone plus ferme au niveau de l'entrée du ballon. Cette barre de silicone, qui sert de support de tension, est destinée à être fixée sur l'aponévrose, au moyen d'une plaque ajustable selon les besoins, cette plaque ajustable pouvant être assujettie à l'aponévrose à l'aide de points de suture ou d'agrafes métalliques. Une fois ces éléments assurés, on découpe le support et on connecte le cathéter à une valve de gonflage que l'on place sous la peau et que l'on assujettit à l'aponévrose à l'aide de points de suture ou d'agrafes.
