Publication number: 20230225892Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for bypassing stomach and creating a barrier for the proximal small bowel to include duodenum and jejunum so that food delivered is directly in the jejunum that results in weight loss. The technique involves placement and fixation of a gastric bypass device within the stomach to cover the small bowel. The present invention also provides a device and method which enables the suturing of the gastric bypass device. The duodeno-jejunal barrier remains unchanged and helps in bypassing the absorptive surface of the proximal small bowel.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Applicant: Quipmen Medical Inc.Inventors: KAPIL GUPTA, RAVI SAWHNEY, ALEX GILBERT, JOHN VERNON, CARY CHOW, JOHN ELAM
