US Patent:

6445939, Sep 3, 2002
Filed:

Aug 9, 1999
Appl. No.:

09/370756
Inventors:

Eric Swanson - Acton MA
Christopher L. Petersen - Carlise MA
Edward McNamara - Chelmsford MA
Ronald B. Lamport - Pelham NH
David L. Kelly - Westford MA
Assignee:

LightLab Imaging, LLC - Westford MA
International Classification:

A61B 500
US Classification:

600342, 600434, 385 33, 385 34
Abstract:

Ultra-small optical probes comprising a single-mode optical fiber and a lens which has substantially the same diameter as the optical fiber. The optical fiber and lens are positioned in a probe housing which is in the form of an insertional medical device such as a guidewire. Connector elements are provided to facilitate the attachment of the probe to an optical system and the quick disconnection of the probe from the optical system. The probe is used to obtain optical measurements in situ in the body of an organism and can be used to guide interventional procedures by a surgeon.

US Patent:

7771382, Aug 10, 2010
Filed:

Jan 11, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/330705
Inventors:

Andy H. Levine - Newton MA, US
Ronald B. Lamport - Pelham NH, US
David A. Melanson - Hudson NH, US
Stuart A. Randle - Concord MA, US
Assignee:

GI Dynamics, Inc. - Lexington MA
International Classification:

A61M 5/00
A61F 2/04
A61B 17/08
US Classification:

604 9, 604 8, 623 2364
Abstract:

A patient is provided with an increased sense of satiety by increasing resistance to the outflow of food from the stomach and through the intestines. Stomach emptying may be slowed with devices implantable within the gastrointestinal tract below the stomach. Implants are preferably removable and can include artificial strictures that may be adjustable to vary the rate of stomach emptying. Slowing gastric emptying may induce satiety for a longer period and may therefore reduce food consumption. Many of the embodiments include intestinal liners or sleeves, but they need not. The resistor concept may be applied to a simple anchor and resistor without a long liner.

A61B 18/18
US Classification:

604 9, 604 8, 606 37, 623 2368
Abstract:

A patient is provided with an increased sense of satiety by increasing resistance to the outflow of food from the stomach and through the intestines. Stomach emptying may be slowed with devices implantable within the gastrointestinal tract below the stomach. Implants are preferably removable and can include artificial strictures or apertures that may be adjustable or elastic to vary the rate of stomach emptying. Slowing gastric emptying may induce satiety for a longer period and may therefore reduce food consumption. Many of the embodiments include intestinal sleeves or sleeves, but they need not. The resistor concept may be applied to a simple anchor and resistor without a long sleeve.
