The Heliosphere Intragastric Balloon System is a temporary non-surgical obesity treatment that induces short-term weight loss by partially filling the stomach to achieve satiety. ... The deflated balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscope. It is then filled with air to a final volume of 650 mL to 750 mL and released to float freely in the stomach. The balloon is used with a supervised calorie-restricted diet, and must be removed after six months.

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
On regroupe sous le vocable de ballons plafonnants les ballons basse altitude qui évoluent dans la couche limite planétaire. Ce sont des ballons pressurisés dont l'enveloppe est inextensible et étanche. Un ballon pressurisé est un ballon fermé, et gonflé de telle manière qu'à son niveau de plafonnement il existe une surpression entre le gaz qu'il contient et l'air ambiant, et ceci quelles que soient les conditions thermiques radiatives environnantes. Il est inextensible car la membrane constituant l'enveloppe est choisie parmi des matériaux plastiques ayant une faible déformabilité et une faible perméabilité au gaz de gonflage afin de réduire les pertes de gaz par diffusion. Sa membrane est, pour des raisons de poids, généralement très mince. Le ballon va donc garder un volume sensiblement constant, aussi longtemps que la surpression sera suffisante pour compenser les pertes de gaz par diffusion et les variations de pression du gaz dues aux effets thermiques. 3, record 3, French, - ballon%20%C3%A0%20volume%20constant
