Patent

CA 2652569

Described herein are bioerodible, biodegradable, or digestible self-deploying intragastric implants that may be swallowed. Once swallowed, the implants undergo self-expansion in the stomach and apply a suitable pressure against the stomach wall to provide a feeling of satiety to the individual. The implants then dissolve or are disassembled perhaps using gastric liquids and pass out of the stomach. Methods of using the devices, perhaps for an individual participating in a dietary control regimen, are described.

L'invention concerne des implants bioérodables, biodégradables ou digestibles auto-déployables pouvant être avalés. Une fois avalés, lesdits implants s'auto-dilatent dans l'estomac et appliquent une pression appropriée contre la paroi stomacale afin de fournir une sensation de satiété à un individu. Ensuite, les implants se dissolvent ou sont séparés peut-être à l'aide de liquides gastriques et s'écoulent dans l'estomac. L'invention concerne également des méthodes d'utilisation de ces dispositifs dans un régime alimentaire individuel.
