Abstract:
Methods, devices and systems for delivering a device assembly into a gastric or other space within the body, allowing the device to expand to occupy volume within the gastric space and, after an effective period of time, delivering a substance or stimulus to begin breakdown of the expanded device so that it may release from the body.

Claim (Index 16):
A medical device for occupying a space within a patient's body and for use with a fluid delivery conduit that allows transport of a fluid into the medical device, the medical device comprising:\n a device body defining a reservoir; a tunnel member having an elongate flattened shape, the tunnel member comprising a first open end located within the reservoir and a second open end, the tunnel member having at least two interior opposing surfaces that define a tunnel lumen extending between the first open end and the second open end; where the tunnel lumen is sized to slidably receive the fluid delivery conduit within the second open end such that the fluid delivery conduit can be advanced through the tunnel lumen such that the at least two interior opposing surfaces hold the conduit in place by friction and where the conduit also separates the at least two interior opposing surfaces allowing the fluid delivery conduit to transport the fluid into the reservoir; and a substance adjacent to the at least two interior opposing surfaces of the tunnel member, such that upon removal of the fluid delivery member, a cohesion of the substance causes the at least two interior opposing surfaces of the tunnel member to stick together increasing a force required to separate the at least two interior opposing surfaces and increasing a resistance to fluid flow through the tunnel lumen.
