An intragastric catheter provides satiety due to its presence in the stomach cavity. Tactile sensation by a plurality of fingers that extend from the device provides satiety. Normal peristaltic action upon the device provides movement of the fingers relative to the stomach wall, reducing the likelihood of ulceration or necrosis. The structure of the intragastric catheter reduces the level of precision required in placement of the device, and the likelihood of blockage of conduits to and from the stomach by the device is reduced.

La présente invention se rapporte à un cathéter intragastrique procurant une sensation de satiété du fait de sa présence dans la cavité stomacale. La sensation tactile procurée par une pluralité de doigts qui s'étendent à partir du dispositif crée une sensation de satiété. L'action péristaltique normale exercée sur le dispositif assure un déplacement des doigts par rapport à la paroi stomacale, ce qui réduit la probabilité d'ulcération ou de nécrose. La structure de ce cathéter intragastrique permet de réduire le niveau de précision requis lors du placement du dispositif, ainsi que la probabilité de blocage par le dispositif des conduits arrivant à l'estomac ou partant de celui-ci.
