本願は、2006年3月1日に出願され、現在係属中の米国特許出願第11/364,363号(発明の名称:「あらかじめ湾曲している胃バンド(PRECURVED GASTRIC BAND)の一部継続出願であり、この米国特許出願は、2005年7月15日に出願され、現在係属中の米国特許出願第11/182,072号(発明の名称:「胃バンド用ラッチ装置(LATCHING DEVICE FOR GASTRIC BAND)」)の一部継続出願であり、本願は、2005年7月15日に出願された米国仮特許出願第60/699,369号(発明の名称:「胃バンド(GASTRIC BAND)」)の権益を主張する出願である。
〔発明の分野〕
本発明は、胃バンド、および関連の付属品に関する。
病的肥満は、深刻な医学的症状である。実際に、病的肥満は、アメリカ合衆国や他の国において非常に広がっており、その動向は、悪化の傾向にあるように思われる。病的肥満と関連した合併症としては、高血圧症、糖尿病、冠動脈疾患、発作、うっ血性心不全症、多くの整形外科的問題および肺動脈弁閉鎖不全症が挙げられ、それに伴って寿命が著しく縮まる。このことを念頭に置いた上で、当業者は確実に理解するように、病的肥満と関連した金銭上および身体上のコストは、相当なものである。実際に、肥満と関連したコストは、アメリカ合衆国のみでも1000億ドルを超えると推定される。
したがって、本発明の目的は、胃を所定の場所で包囲するように成形され、寸法決めされたバルーン、および、バルーンの周囲に延びるベルトを含む胃バンドを提供することである。さらに、バルーンとベルトとの間には、連結層(linking layer)が配され、この連結層は、バルーンまたはベルトのいずれかよりも硬質となっている。
本発明の実施形態が本明細書に開示されている。しかしながら、開示した実施形態は、本発明の例示に過ぎず、本発明は、様々な形態で実施できることを理解されたい。したがって、本明細書に開示した詳細は、本発明を限定するものとして解釈されるべきではなく、特許請求の範囲のためのかつ本発明の構成方法、および/または、利用方法を当業者に教示するための基礎として解釈されるべきである。
