ABSTRACT:
A method and article for medical diagnosis and/or treatment of body disorders, comprising a sleeve unit insertable in a natural body vessel to isolate material flowing into the vessel from direct contact with the interior surface of the vessel. When applied to the treatment of obesity, the sleeve is disposed along a zone in the digestive tract to interfere with the digestive or absorptive function of that zone and thereby reduce net caloric intake.
