From how SlimOra Gastric Balloon Systems works to clinical access, get the facts on the
world's first procedure less gastric balloon and digital care ecosystem.

The gastric balloon is a medical device designed to assist with weight loss. It is a soft balloon filled with liquid or air that is placed in the stomach. All gastric balloons have the same mechanism of action to occupy space, promoting a feeling of fullness and reducing food intake. They typically remain in the stomach for several months before being removed by endoscopy or, in the case of the SlimOra Gastric Balloon Systems naturally eliminated.

The SlimOra Gastric Balloon Systems is placed in the stomach during an outpatient consultation. The patient swallows a capsule containing the deflated balloon, which is attached to a thin tube (catheter). Once the presence of the capsule in the patient’s stomach is confirmed (by X-ray), the balloon is filled with liquid using the catheter. A second X-ray is performed to ensure that the balloon is properly filled. The procedure is then complete, and the catheter is gently removed. In the majority of cases, approximately months later, the SlimOra Gastric Balloon Systems empties on its own and is naturally eliminated.

The SlimOra Gastric Balloon is a regulated health product that bears the CE marking in accordance with this regulation.
