Title: Medical restriction device for hollow organs of a body
Inventor: SZEWCZYK TOMASZ
IPC: A61F5/00
Filed: 2011-12-14
Abstract: The present invention provides an improved medical restriction device that is easier to manipulate during application thereof. The device includes a tip as an inlet guide at a first end of a longitudinal element which comprises a reinforcing core of rigid material. An opening at the second end of the longitudinal element forms part of the closure device. In combination with the opening, the tip together with the first end of the longitudinal element more easily passes through the opening at the second end in order to lock the restriction device in a predetermined or selectable position when the closure device is in the closed position. Advantageously, due to the tip provided with a reinforcing core, the restriction device can be passed better around the hollow organ and can more easily penetrate the elastic and fibrous connective tissue surrounding a hollow organ and holding the same in position.
