Patent number: 8211050Abstract: The medical implant for treating pathological obesity is adapted to modify and, as an alternative, to bypass the natural food passage in the digestive tract. The implant permits an adjustable bypassing of food into the small intestine and/or into the stomach (natural digestive path). Since the ratio of this bypass is adjustable in the course of the treatment by the physician, e.g. with the aid of an endoscope, for the first time a balance between the therapeutic effect and the side-effects can be adapted individually to each patient by the use of the implant. The implant has a hollow body with first and a second tubular end portions and at least one third lateral opening having a hose-like extension. The individual at least partly closable hose-like extensions differ in their ability to allow the passage of food into the stomach.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2005Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Novineon Healthcare Technology Partners GmbHInventors: Daniel Kalanovic, Chi-Nghia Ho, Sebastian Schostek, Marc Oliver Schurr

Patent number: 8192349Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical device for changing the shape of hollow organs in the human body, comprising at least one issue clamp, clip or anchor, which can be fixed to the organ tissue by means of a clamping or hooking-in action in order to provide a fixation point or a point of transmission of force in the organ. The clip or anchor has a receiving-element portion or hooking-in device for a flexible band, wire or tube, by means of which a force causing the change in shape can be applied to the organ at least partially via the clip.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2006Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Ovesco Endoscopy AGInventors: Marc Oliver Schurr, Chi-Nghia Ho

Patent number: 7828730Abstract: A device for hemorrhage detection comprising a detector for detecting the presence of blood, the detector being connected to a fixing, apparatus. The fixing apparatus is fixed to the inner wall of a hollow organ. The device further has a transmitting unit by which data transmitted by the detector are adapted to be transmitted to a receiving unit disposed outside the body.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2007Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Novineon Healthcare Technology Partners, GmbHInventors: Sebastian Schostek, Fabian Rieber, Chi-Nghia Ho, Marc Oliver Schurr

Patent number: 7698961Abstract: The ability of a person to grasp an object and at the same time to feel, as well as to determine mechanical and geometric parameters of the comprehended object, makes him or her irreplaceable for many tasks, i.e. in production or in surgery. The translation of this ability into a technological system has often failed up to now due to lack of special adjusted sensors. The object of this invention is a sensory device, which fulfills the requirements for a tactile sensor system and at the same time affords a cost-effective and simple manufacturing alternative to other sensor principles. The layer structure of the sensor element is so constructed that by effect of an external force of the current by a resistive layer a path is disposed to narrowing or enlargement. The voltage drop over this resistive layer is dependent upon the acting external force and serves as signal sensor.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2005Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Novineon Healthcare Technology Partners GmbHInventors: Sebastian Schostek, Chi-Nghia Ho, Marc Oliver Schurr, Daniel Kalanovic

Patent number: 6248060Abstract: A rigid endoscope includes a jacket tube with an optical system and, parallel to the optical axis of the optical system, a first glass fiber bundle which emits a beam to illuminate an object to be examined. A second optical illumination system is directed at the object being examined. The second light exit of the second optical illumination system is recessed from the first light exit of the optical system by a distance greater than a diameter of the jacket tube. The light exit axis at the second light exit of the second optical illumination system is offset laterally relative to the image axis at the distal end of the optical system by an amount such that because of the resultant parallax and the shadow formation and unequal light distribution thus attained, the vividness of the image impression for three dimensional objects is increased.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1999Date of Patent: June 19, 2001Assignee: MGB Endoskopische Geraete GmbH BerlinInventors: Gerhard Fritz Buess, Ernst Flemming, Wolfgang Juergen Kunert, Marc Oliver Schurr, Edward Naujoks, Johannes Tschepe
