The swallowable gastric balloon (Elipse™ System) is a modern obesity treatment that can be administered through a simple swallowing process without requiring sedation or endoscopy. When the biocompatible capsule reaches the stomach, it is filled with 550 ml of isotonic solution, creating a feeling of fullness, and is naturally expelled from the body after 16 weeks.

Application Protocol:

• After an 8-hour fast, the USP Class VI medical silicone capsule (wall thickness 0.4 mm) is swallowed under the supervision of a specialist.
• The position of the balloon is confirmed by fluoroscopy, and it reaches the optimal size (550±25 ml) within 8-10 minutes, using body temperature.
• The system remains in the stomach for the 16-week treatment period and is safely emptied and expelled through a special valve system.

Clinical Benefits:

• A 15-minute application time with a 75% lower complication risk and minimal side effects (2.9%) compared to traditional methods.
• Achieves a weight loss of 5-7 kg in the first month and a total of 10-15% of body weight (suitable for BMI 27-40 kg/m²).
• Provides a safe treatment experience with a self-emptying feature and 92% patient satisfaction.
