A temporary anti-reflux valve uses a one-way rotating plate to block stomach reflux and predict GERD surgery benefit without invasive pre-surgical tests.
Segmented connectors resist distal migration while enabling safe explantation through bioabsorbable degradation and tissue bridging.
A gastrointestinal implant creates a resistive feature to slow gastric emptying, reducing food consumption without invasive surgical complications.
Extracellular matrix scaffolds reinforce anastomotic sites to minimize scar tissue formation and reduce leakage rates during esophageal reconstruction.
Composite sleeve with textured anchor resists eversion under retrograde pressure, preventing digestive tract obstruction.
A two-layer esophageal replacement device uses stent rings to anchor and maintain patency across stump ends.
Removable core allows tissue ingrowth for stability while fasteners prevent distal migration during peristalsis.
An implantable intestinal sleeve bypasses the proximal small intestine to alter microbial balance.
A permeable bariatric sleeve allows essential nutrient diffusion while blocking food, resolving malnutrition risks from impermeable designs.
A moving pressurizing member generates continuous peristaltic pressure along an implantable feeding tube.
An adjustable gastric bypass apparatus uses inflatable regulators to control primary and bypass flow profiles through distinct conduits.
A collapsible flexible sleeve anchors in the esophagus to shield fistulas from food contact.
An inverted sleeve delivers through an endoscope to isolate nutrients, avoiding surgical complications.
Non-surgical magnetic implants reduce stomach volume by attracting wall portions, avoiding invasive surgical risks and procedural trauma.
Expandable anchor secures intestinal bypass sleeve at pylorus, preventing migration while minimizing tissue necrosis risk.
Segmented valve design with reduced cross-section resists chyme passage through the pylorus, delaying gastric emptying without invasive surgery.
An intestinal flow modulator adjusts chyme speed to reduce nutrient absorption.
