Systems for controlling obesity utilize a number of space occupiers positioned in the stomach to reduce the effective volume of the stomach. Such arrangements provides sufficient stomach volume consumption to induce weight loss, but enable use of space occupiers that are proportioned to minimize the threat of obstruction even if they should migrate into the intestine. In general, numerous small volume space occupiers are placed in the stomach such that the total volume equals or exceeds the single volume of prior art single unit space occupiers. However, each individual space occupier is proportioned so that it will pass without obstruction if it moves into the intestine.
L'invention concerne des systèmes de lutte contre l'obésité qui emploient plusieurs éléments occupant l'espace placés dans l'estomac afin de réduire le volume effectif de l'estomac. Ces agencements comblent un volume suffisant de l'estomac pour induire une perte de poids, mais permettent l'utilisation d'éléments occupant l'espace dont les proportions réduisent le risque d'obstruction, même en cas de migration dans l'intestin. En général, de nombreux petits éléments occupant l'espace sont placés dans l'estomac, de telle sorte que leur volume total soit égal ou supérieur au volume individuel des éléments occupant l'espace unitaires individuels de l'état de la technique. Toutefois, les proportions de chaque élément occupant l'espace individuel lui permettent de passer sans obstruction en cas d'entrée dans l'intestin.
