Obesity Treatment Systems

US Patent:
2008030, Dec 4, 2008
Filed:
Oct 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/981383
Inventors:
Michael Eric Gertner - Menlo Park CA, US
International Classification:
A61M 29/02
US Classification:
606192
Abstract:
In some embodiments, an extragastric balloon is described in which the balloon is contoured to fit a portion of the stomach but not circumscribe the stomach. In some embodiments, the extragastric balloon comprises multiple material components. In some embodiments, the extragastric balloon comprises multiple inflateable compartments. In some embodiments, the extragastric balloon is filled with one or more of a gas, liquid, solid, or foams to create portions of the balloon with differing densities or buoyancies. In some embodiments, multiple anchors contact the stomach each of which are inflateable with a fluid such as a liquid, gas, or gel.

Targeted Inhibition Of Physiologic And Pathologic Processes

US Patent:
2013011, May 2, 2013
Filed:
Oct 22, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/657725
Inventors:

Michael Gertner - Menlo Park CA, US
Assignee:
KONA MEDICAL, INC. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
A61N 7/00
US Classification:
601 2
Abstract:
In some embodiments, sympathetic nerves surrounding arteries or leading to organs are targeted with energy sources to correct or modulate physiologic processes. In some embodiments, different types of energy sources are utilized singly or combined with one another. In some embodiments, bioactive agents or devices activated by the energy sources are delivered to the region of interest and the energy is enhanced by such agents.

Energetic Modulation Of Nerves

US Patent:
2012010, May 3, 2012
Filed:
Apr 20, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/091116
Inventors:
Michael Gertner - Menlo Park CA, US
David Perozek - Mercer Island WA, US
Jimin Zhang - Bellevue WA, US
Arash Sabet - Ballwin MO, US
Assignee:
KONA MEDICAL, INC. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
A61N 7/00
US Classification:
601 2
Abstract:
A system for applying high intensity ultrasound energy to a nerve surrounding an artery of a patient includes a piezoelectric array comprising a plurality of ultrasound elements, a controller configured to individually control a phasing of each of the ultrasound elements, a platform on which the ultrasound elements are coupled, wherein the platform is configured to support at least a part of the patient, a programmable generator configured to generate an output power for at least one of the ultrasound elements, and a programmable processor configured to process a signal transmitted from one of the ultrasound elements and reflected back from tissue, and determine a tissue characteristic based on the reflected signal.
