Patent number: 10080677Abstract: A device for inducing weight loss in a patient includes a tubular prosthesis self-expandable from a collapsed position in which the prosthesis has a first diameter to an expanded position in which the prosthesis has a second, larger, diameter. In a method for inducing weight loss, the prosthesis is placed in the collapsed position and inserted into a stomach of a patient. The prosthesis is allowed to self-expand from the collapsed position to the expanded position and into contact with the walls of the stomach, where it induces feelings of satiety and/or inhibits modulation of satiety-controlling factors such as Ghrelin.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2016Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Richard Stack, Richard Glenn, Trevor Moody, Fred Silverstein, Nathan Every, William Eubanks, Jr.

Patent number: 9993281Abstract: Devices and methods for ablating tissue in the wall of various organs of the gastrointestinal tract of a patient in order to cure or ameliorate metabolic pathophysiological conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, or type 2 diabetes mellitus are provided. Ablational treatment of target areas may be fractional or partial, rendering a post-treatment portion of target tissue ablated and another portion that is substantially intact. Fractional ablation is achieved by controlling the delivery of ablational energy across the surface area being treated, and controlling the depth of energy penetration into tissue. Surface area control of energy delivery may controlled by the spatial pattern of distributed ablation elements or by the selective activation of a subset of a dense pattern of ablation elements. Embodiments of the device include an ablational electrode array that spans 360 degrees and an array that spans an arc of less than 360 degrees.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2013Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Douglas Kelly, David S. Utley, Robert A. Ganz, Michael P. Wallace, Nathan Every

Publication number: 20180104079Abstract: A satiation device is described which includes a sheath or liner extending from the proximal or middle stomach to the distal antrum. Food ingested by the patient passes through the sheath or liner, thereby minimizing contact between the ingested food and the stomach. It is believed that over time, reduced contact between food and the stomach will result in decreased Ghrelin production by the patient and a consequent decrease in appetite. In some embodiments, the satiation device may also include a proximal pouch and/or a distal bypass tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Richard S. STACK, Richard A. GLENN, William L. ATHAS, Michael S. WILLIAMS, Trevor J. MOODY, Fred E. SILVERSTEIN, Nathan EVERY
