The expandable member is in fluid communication with the conduit of the applier. The adhesive is positioned on at least a portion of the outer surface of the expandable member. The adhesive is configured to adhere the expanded expandable member to the inner wall of a patient's stomach. The expandable member may have a generally toroid configuration with a stoma, such that the expandable member may provide a gastric restriction when expanded and adhered to the inner wall of a patient's stomach. The expandable member may thus provide a treatment for morbid obesity by reducing food intake, by reducing stomach volume, or otherwise. ...- Cincinnati, OH, US, , - (USPTO) - The Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20080103593, Use of biosurgical adhesive on inflatable device for gastric restriction.You can also Monitor Keywords and Search for tracking patents relating to this Use of biosurgical adhesive on inflatable device for gastric restriction patent application.
