Title:
PANCREATIOBILIARY DIVERSION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/108258
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Apparatus (200) for use with pancreaticobiliary secretions that enter a gastrointestinal tract at an anatomical location. A secretion-diversion guide (370) comprises: a proximal portion (124); a distal portion (126); first and second anchors (36/38) coupled to the proximal and distal portions which apply pressure to the tract to maintain guide (370) in place; a collection- facilitation tube (280), between the anchors, having an inner surface (245) and an outer surface (246), the inner surface defining a lumen for passage of food. The outer surface inhibits contact of the secretions with food and defines a space (7) between the outer surface and the tract. A diversion tube (290) is in communication with the space and passes secretions from the space distally, and inhibits food-secretion contact. An intragastric anchor (170/171/172) coupled to guide (370), located in the stomach, maintains the guide in place. Other applications are also described.
