  • Publication number: 20140025100
    Abstract: The present application provides implantable intragastric devices for the treatment of obesity. The intragastric devices advantageously act as a volume-occupying device, and is able to survive implantation in a patient's stomach for a year or longer. In addition, the intragastric devices may be configured to stimulate an inner stomach wall and/or temporarily block the pylorus to slow gastric emptying and/or be rotationally variant, thereby encouraging different stimulation points on the inner wall of the stomach and limiting the stomach's ability to adapt over long term implantation. The intragastric devices may reshape the stomach cavity, such as by pushing on opposite sides so as to “planarize” the stomach. For instance, the device may be an inflated disk, or an implantable loop or a springy coil that may be straightened for delivery/extraction yet assume the loop or coil shape upon implant.

  • Patent number: 8506532
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for attaching a fluid access port to a patient. The system generally comprises an implantable access port and a tool for attaching an access port to a patient. The implantable access port may include a plurality of anchor assemblies composed of two different materials. In addition, a mesh member may be attached to the base of the access port to facilitate implantation of the access port into a patient's body. The tool may have a rotatable actuator head, and may engage the access port in various orientations.
