Abstract (en)
[origin: FR2861288A1] The balloon (1), made with at least one supple pouch (2) of a material that can be folded for implanting in a patient' stomach and then inflated with a fluid, contains a ballast weight (3) for positioning the balloon correctly inside the stomach. The balloon (1), made with at least one supple pouch (2) of a material that can be folded for implanting in a patient' stomach and then inflated with a fluid, contains a ballast weight (3) for positioning the balloon correctly inside the stomach. The weight can be integral with the structure of the balloon, made in the form of solid dense bodies, e.g. of tungsten, linked to one another to limit their movement, or super- absorbent particles or a sponge material that can absorb a liquid such as water or a physiological fluid introduced by the surgeon.
