Embodiment Construction
[0019] see now figure 1 , which illustrates an occlusion device (or plug) 10 and delivery system 20 constructed and operative in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
[0020] The occlusion device 10 includes a proximal occlusion balloon 12 and a distal occlusion balloon 14 mounted on a stem 16 . A portion of stem 16 referred to as neck 18 or neck 18 creates a gap between proximal balloon 12 and distal balloon 14 . The neck 18 can have different lengths and thicknesses depending on the application: eg the size of the neck 18 is related to the usual width of the pyloric muscle.
[0021] The proximal occlusion balloon 12 is arranged to fit in the stomach and the distal occlusion balloon 14 is arranged to fit in the duodenum. When inflated, balloons 12 and 14 inflate toward the pylorus from opposite sides at the pylorus, thereby securing plug 10 in place.
[0022] According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the distal occlusion balloon 14 compri...
