Patent number: 9731084Abstract: A therapeutic treatment device, system and method for improving administration of a temperature sensitive drug into a tissue on the body of a patient at a drug injection site are disclosed. The device includes a treatment element with a controllable heating element in temperature communicative contact with the tissue adjacent to the drug injection site. The controllable heating element is configured to heat the tissue adjacent to the drug injection site to a controllable temperature but does not heat the injected drug above a predetermined limiting temperature, above which degradation of the injected drug may occur.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Insuline Medical Ltd.Inventors: Benny Pesach, Gabriel Bitton, Ron Nagar, Ram Weiss

Publication number: 20130268089Abstract: An inert adapter for supporting gastric devices. The adapter is connected to the inner lining of the stomach to encircle the esophageal sphincter and supports a treatment element. The treatment element is operated only after at least the healing period of the connection has passed. The adapter and the treatment element may be endoscopically inserted in a single action, and the activation of the treatment element may be carried out externally or internally by the dissolution of a dissolvable element. The adapter may support various treatment elements, such as an intake limiting pouch or an anti GERD device, and may additionally deliver drugs. Allowing a late activation of the device without additional intervention or even supervision simplifies gastric device applications and enhances their safety.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2011Publication date: October 10, 2013Inventors: Ram Weiss, Menachem P.
