Abstract The present invention relates to a reflux disease treatment apparatus, comprising two or more movement restriction device segments adapted to form an implantable movement restriction device with an elongated shape that maintains cardia in the correct position. The movement restriction device has proximal and a distal end, wherein the distal end is adapted to stabilize and hold the proximal end. The invention further comprises a control device for controlling the stimulation device to stimulate the cardia sphincter. The distal end can be further adapted to treat obesity, for example by stretching the wall of the stomach or filling out a volume of the stomach.

Reticle pods include inner pods where motion limiting features restrict translational motion of the cover and the baseplate relative to one another. The motion limiting features are in addition to gross alignment features included in the inner pod. The motion limiting features resist the translational motion before the gross alignment features would resist the motion. Motion limiting features can include elastic bodies providing friction against contact surfaces, or pins received on elastic contact surfaces or in diaphragms or motion limiting cups.

An implantable medical device for treating reflux disease, the implantable medical device comprising a movement restriction device (110) configured to be fixated to the stomach wall for hindering movement of the lower esophageal sphincter relative to the thoracic diaphragm. The movement restriction device comprises central part (111e), and at least two outer parts (111a-d) configured to be connected to each other along a vertical plane. The at least two outer parts are configured to be connected to the central part for forming at least a portion of a functional movement restriction device. The central part comprises at least one horizontally extending rim (151h1-4) and the central part has a contacting surface configured to contact at least one surface of the at least two outer parts, and wherein a portion of the horizontally extending rim is wedge-shaped with an angle in the range 20° - 60°.
