Patent

CA 2162402

A gastric band useful for the surgical treat- ment and control of morbid obesity. The gastric band (10) has inner and outer surfaces. The in- ner surface (15) has an inflatable member (16) dis- posed thereon which substantially completely cov- ers the inner surface (15) of the band (11). The gas- tric band (10) is fastened in an encircling position around the stomach. After the band (10) is fastened around the stomach, a fluid is injected into the in- flatable member (16) thereby constricting the stoma of the stomach. The inflatable member (16) is ad- justed so that the stoma opening is at the desired diameter. The gastric band requires no adjustment other than inflation and presents a smooth, contin- uous inner surface to the adjacent tissue, thereby reducing necrosis.

L'invention concerne une ceinture gastrique utile dans le traitement chirurgical et la maîtrise de l'obésité pathologique. Ladite ceinture gastrique (10) présente des surfaces interne et externe. Sur la surface interne (15) est disposé un élément gonflable (16), lequel recouvre complètement ladite surface interne (15) de ladite ceinture (11). La ceinture gastrique (10) est attachée dans une position d'encerclement autour de l'estomac. Une fois la ceinture (10) attachée autour de l'estomac, on injecte un fluide dans ledit élément gonflable (16), ce qui a pour effet de resserrer l'ouverture de l'estomac. L'élément gonflable (16) est réglé de manière que l'ouverture se trouve au diamètre voulu. Ladite ceinture gastrique ne nécessite aucun réglage autre que le gonflage et présente une surface intérieure continue lisse sur le tissu adjacent, réduisant ainsi la nécrose.
