摘要:
Transoral implantable devices includes an inflatable body made of a material that permits it to be compressed into a substantially linear transoral delivery configuration and that when implanted in the stomach is adapted to reduce obesity or weight by stimulating the stomach walls of the patient. The body has a plurality of popout features on its surface that reside generally flush with the inflatable body in relaxed, refracted states, and which respond to an increase in pressure within the inflatable body by projecting outward from the body in a stressed, deployed state. The popout features may convert between their retracted and deployed states by movement of rolling diaphragms formed in the inflatable body.
