Please note that we have a new site: LifeScienceHistory.com, "Where history is made daily" under development and
delayed by COVID-19, to be launched in 2023 replacing CaliforniaLifeScience.com. Regrettably, we are working with reduced
staffing and the current industry directory is no longer being maintained, but will be replaced with a new and improved
directory upon the launch of the new site. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The ReShape Integrated Dual Balloon System involves a non-surgical weight loss procedure that uses advanced balloon technology designed to help people with a 30-40 Body Mass Index (BMI), and at least one co-morbidity, lose weight. The ReShape Procedure provides a new option for individuals who have not succeeded at diet and exercise alone, and do not want or do not qualify for bariatric surgery. Two connected balloons are placed into the stomach during a short, outpatient endoscopic procedure. The balloons remain in the stomach for six months and are then removed. During balloon treatment, and for six more months following removal of the balloons, the patient receives nutritional counseling and access to exclusive tools to help them achieve their weight loss goals. The ReShape Procedure was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in July of 2015 and has been available in Europe since 2011. | |
