More Information
Summary:Methods and devices are provided for regulating a restriction system. In one exemplary embodiment, a restriction system (10) is provided having a restriction device (20) configured to receive fluid and to form a restriction in a pathway corresponding to an amount of fluid contained therein, at least one fluid reservoir (40,50), and a fluid logic system (30) coupled between the restriction device and the at least one fluid reservoir. The fluid logic system is configured to regulate an amount of fluid in the restriction device in response to a fluid pressure acting thereon.
