Method of Securing Device in Gastrointestinal Tract ^en

mid: /m/0j2yjj3 notable type: /law/invention notable for: /law/invention

Dr. P. Jay Pasricha has developed a simple, robust, patented method for anchoring a barrier device within the gastrointestinal tract. This technique uses a circular loop constructed of flexible, biocompatible material to facilitate endoscopic placement of a stent or sleeve-like device in the duodenum to prevent contact of nutrients with the epithelial lining. This procedure could be used to treat metabolic diseases such as Type II Diabetes. [ - ]
