Abstract
The present disclosure relates to techniques for restricting luminary organs. More specifically, a constriction device is provided, having one or several constriction elements configured to be inflated and thereby expand in a first direction towards the luminary organ to constrict a first portion of the luminary organ for restricting the flow of fluid therethrough.
Claims19
An implantable constriction device for constricting a luminary organ of a patient, the implantable constriction device comprises a first, second and third luminary organ contacting elements and an operation device, wherein:
- the first luminary organ contacting element comprises a first operable hydraulic constriction element configured to be inflated to constrict the luminary organ for restricting the flow of fluid therethrough,
- the second luminary organ contacting element comprises a second operable hydraulic constriction element configured to be inflated to assist in releasing the constriction of the luminary organ for restoring the flow of fluid therethrough, and
- the third luminary organ contacting element comprises at least one cushioning element configured to contact the luminary organ, and wherein:
- the operation device is configured to operate at least the first and second luminary organ contacting element, to be inflated or deflated, independently.
