Embodiment Construction

[0025] The present invention provides compositions, devices, and methods that affect weight loss and / or weight management, etc., by sequestering nutrients or other compounds (eg, toxins) from absorption from the digestive tract. The compositions, devices and methods utilize one or more members made of a compressible absorbent matrix material. In various embodiments, the matrix material is suitable for conventional applications. The compressible absorbent matrix material has a size, shape and / or geometry configured for efficient packing into small spaces and / or configured for absorption in the stomach and substantial retention of digested material. The devices and compositions may also include one or more hydrogels, soluble or insoluble fibers, waxes and / or gums to provide desired mechanical properties and / or absorption or barrier properties.

[0026]The compositions and devices reduce caloric absorption of nutrients ingested by the body. The method of operation of the device...

Abstract

The present invention provides compositions, devices, and methods for affecting, among other things, weight loss and / or weight control, by sequestering nutrients or other compounds such as toxins from absorption in the digestive tract. The compositions, devices, and methods employ one or more members made of a compressible, absorbent matrix material. In various embodiments, the matrix material is suitable for routine use. The compressible absorbent matrix material has a size, shape and / or geometry configured for efficient packing into a small space, and / or configured to absorb and substantially retain digested material in the stomach. The devices and compositions may further comprise one or more hydrogel(s), soluble or insoluble fibers, waxes, and / or gums to provide the desired mechanical properties and / or absorptive or shielding properties.

Description

[0001] Related applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Application No. 13 / 841,138, filed March 15, 2013, and US Provisional Application No. 61 / 616,037, filed March 27, 2012, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference . technical field [0003] The present invention relates to devices, compositions and methods for reducing the amount of nutrients or other compounds absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract (GI track) from ingested food, among other uses. Background technique [0004] The term "overweight" refers to weight above the normal range. Overweight and obesity are determined by calculating body mass index (BMI), which is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Overweight is usually defined as a BMI of 25kg / m 2 to 29.9kg / m 2 , obesity is usually defined as a BMI ≥ 30kg / m 2 , while severe obesity is usually defined as a BMI ≥ 40 kg / m 2 (or BMI ≥ 35kg / m in the presence of other medical comorbidities 2 )....
