Publication number: 20220023082Abstract: The present invention relates to gastric obstruction device deployment systems and a device for intermittently obstructing a bodily opening, such as a gastric opening, and includes a proximal occluding member connected to a distal occluding member by a tether. The proximal occluding member is formable from an elongated and narrower configuration to a contracted or expanded but wider configuration. When employed in the stomach, the gastric obstruction device may be arranged transluminally with the distal occluding member disposed in the duodenum and the proximal occluding member disposed against the pyloric valve, intermittently occluding the pyloric valve and preventing or delaying the flow of gastric contents through the pyloric valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2021Publication date: January 27, 2022Applicant: BAROnova, Inc.Inventors: David NEEDLEMAN, Alex ROTH, Daniel R. BURNETT, Jimmy VAN WESTENBERG, Kobi IKI
