The invention relates to a medical apparatus including a device used in the treatment of weight loss, obesity and potentially other associated health problems, e.g., type II diabetes. The device comprises a sleeve with an anchoring component attached thereto. The device is used to impede absorption of nutrients within the gastrointestinal tract, i.e., bypassing a portion of the gastrointestinal tract. The medical apparatus further comprises a delivery tube which enables implantation of the device using minimally invasive techniques, such a transesophageal approach under visualization. During implantation the sleeve is inverted and contained in a lumen of the delivery tube until deployment into the gastrointestinal tract. The device may be implanted via a working channel of a medical scope, e.g., an endoscope or in combination with a medical scope.
La présente invention concerne un appareil médical comprenant un dispositif utilisé dans le traitement d'amaigrissement, du diabète et potentiellement d'autres problèmes de santé associés, tels que le diabète de type II. Ce dispositif est utilisé pour gêner l'absorption de substances nutritives dans le tractus gastro-intestinal, par exemple en contournant une partie du tractus gastro-intestinal. L'appareil médical de cette invention permet au dispositif d'être implanté au moyen de techniques à effraction minimale, par exemple à l'aide d'une approche transoesophagienne avec visualisation. Le dispositif peut être implanté par le biais d'un canal de travail d'un appareil d'examen médical, tel qu'un endoscope, ou conjointement à un appareil d'examen médical.
