Who are candidates for BariClip?

The BariClip device was designed for patients with a body mass index of 29 or above, which places them in the overweight category. This lower indication (compared to those for bariatric surgery) means that a larger population can benefit from this safe, viable option. It has the potential to help people who have not been able to achieve a healthy weight through diet, exercise or medication, but that do not qualify for a more elaborate weight loss procedure. It is not rare for a BMI of 29 or more to be accompanied by medical conditions related to obesity, and many patients that live under these conditions have been unable to reach a healthy weight, which is essential in preventing their health from deteriorating any further. The BariClip represents a new option for this type of patients, who are likely feeling despondent due to the situation they are experiencing.

What are the benefits of BariClip?

The BariClip offers many advantages. It mimics the effect of the gastric sleeve without the risk of leakage and reduces the occurrence of postoperative reflux by lowering intragastric pressure.
By preventing acid from moving up the esophagus, it is also effective in treating conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux. Weight loss results are similar to those of the gastric sleeve, with patients losing 60% or more of their excess weight, without requiring a gastrectomy or facing the risks of leakage or reflux.

Essentially, the BariClip provides these benefits through a safe, minimally invasive, and completely reversible procedure.

As with any bariatric intervention, a certified surgeon must evaluate each patient’s case to determine if it is the right option. The device should always be part of a comprehensive program that includes changes in diet, lifestyle, and physical activity.
