  • Patent number: 6117067
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a device for adjusting the height and supporting internal anatomical organs. The device comprises a chamber having elastic properties, the volume of which varies in accordance with the amount of fluid in the container. To increase or decrease the volume, a capsule connected by a tube to the container is provided which is adapted to be located near the skin of the patient. A hypodermic needle can extract or introduce fluid into the capsule thereby to change the volume of the chamber. A thread is connected to one base of the chamber and the other base is adapted to sit on an anatomical region in the body. The thread is adapted to surround the selected organ whereby changes in the volume of the chamber changes the distance between the bases thereby to move the organ.
