Balloon Design |
ORBERA 365 Intragastric Balloons are molded to an ultra-smooth round shape design. The balloon size and shape is optimized to fit the stomach and to limit stomach irritation and risk of ulceration. |
Thee elegantly durable balloons are designed for optimal patient outcomes and ease of placement. |
|
Material quality |
ORBERA365 Intragastric Balloons have seven layers of high-quality silicone material. These polymers have high density and high molecular weight for maximum durability. |
These Intragastric Balloons have the durability to support patients for 6 months or up to 12 months. |
|
Sterile saline filling |
ORBERA 365 Intragastric Balloons are filled with sterile saline rather than air. The saline water is mixed with methylene blue for enhanced safety. If an unexpected balloon rupture occurs, the methylene blue turns the urine green. |
The saline-filled balloons work by delaying the rate of gastric emptying from the stomach and thus patients consume a smaller meal and feel satiety for a longer duration. Saline-filled balloons help patients lose more weight than the air-filled balloons. Additionally, the methylene blue enhances the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. |
|
Excellent fluid volume capacity |
ORBERA 365 Intragastric Balloons have an inflatable hollow body with a volume between about 300 ml to 700ml which can be adjusted according to patients’ tolerance. |
This feature offers versatility to the device as the fluid volume can be lowered in patients who cannot tolerate a higher volume, and vice-versa, to enhance weight loss. |
