A bariatric clamp may include substrate members overmolded in polymer forming first and second elongated portions, a bight portion having a flexible hinge, one or more inflatable portions disposed at least partially along interior sections of the first and second elongated portions; and a port coupled to at least one of the inflatable portions and configured to adjust inflation of the inflatable portions. The inflatable portions are provided to assist in retaining the clamp in a closed position to partition the stomach and to adjust a pressure of the clamp when partitioning the stomach.

A system includes an adjustable implant configured for implantation internally within a subject and includes a permanent magnet configured for rotation about an axis of rotation, the permanent magnet operatively coupled to a drive transmission configured to alter a dimension of the adjustable implant. The system includes an external adjustment device configured for placement on or adjacent to the skin of the subject having at least one magnet configured for rotation, the external adjustment device further comprising a motor configured to rotate the at least one magnet and an encoder. Rotation of the at least one magnet of the external adjustment device effectuates rotational movement of the permanent magnet of the adjustable implant and alters the dimension of the adjustable implant. Drive control circuitry is configured to receive an input signal from the encoder.

A medical implant system for implantation in a patient to treat erectile dysfunction includes a first fluid path, an inflatable penile prosthesis cylinder, an electric pump, and implant controller, and an implantable power supply. The inflatable penile prosthesis cylinder is in fluid communication with the first fluid path and is configured for implantation in a corpus cavernosum of a patient. The electric pump is in fluid communication with the first fluid path. The implant controller is electrically coupled to the pump and is configured to activate the pump to drive a flow of fluid through the first fluid path and into the cylinder. The implantable power supply provides electrical power to the pump.

The invention relates to an occlusive cuff (1) for selectively occluding an anatomical duct (2), comprising: a band (10) suited to surrounding said anatomical duct (2), provided with a closing device suited to maintaining the band wound upon itself over a determined length (L.sub.10), and an inflatable reservoir (11) arranged on an inner face of the band (10), said cuff being characterised in that the inflatable reservoir (11) extends over only a part (L.sub.11) of the length (L.sub.10) of the band (10), another part (L.sub.13) of said length (L.sub.10) defining a free inner surface (13) of the band configured to form a bearing zone for the anatomical duct, such that when the band (10) is maintained wound upon itself by the closing device, the inflatable reservoir (11) is opposite said free inner surface (13) of the band.

The invention relates to a fastening device for implant device, the fastening device comprising at least two fastening sections, where a first fastening section is arranged with a through hole, a second fastening section is arranged with a protruding part, and where said protruding part is in place in said through hole in a fastening device locking state, where the protruding part on the second fastening section is arranged with a through channel having an inlet and an outlet, said through channel being arranged to receive an implant device feed member, said inlet and outlet being accessible from the exterior of the fastening device in said fastening device locking state, wherein the first fastening section is securely locked to the second fastening section when, in said fastening device locking state, said implant device feed member is in place in the through channel and protrudes from both the inlet and the outlet of said through channel. The invention further relates to an implant device comprising a fastening device, and a method for securely locking a first fastening section of a fastening device for an implant device to a second section of a fastening device for an implant device.

A gastric restriction device for treating excessive weight or obesity in mammals. The gastric restriction devices includes a skirt having a left portion, a right portion, a top edge with a first indentation located at a center of the top edge, and a bottom edge with a second indentation located at a center of the bottom edge. The skirt has a narrow surface located between the first indentation and the second indentation and a broad surface formed from the left portion connecting to the right portion. The skirt is configured to envelop and fit a stomach of a mammal. The gastric restriction device includes a first attachment device and a second attachment device. The second attachment device is adapted to engage the first attachment device so that the skirt envelops and fits the stomach of the mammal.
