Allurion Balloon ”Elipse Balloon”

The Elipse Balloon is a swallowable intragastric balloon designed to help individuals lose weight. Unlike traditional intragastric balloons that require an endoscopic procedure for placement and removal, the Elipse Balloon is swallowed in the form of a capsule, which is then inflated into a balloon in the stomach.

1. Swallowable Design: The Elipse Balloon is delivered to the stomach in a deflated state through a capsule, which is then filled with a liquid to inflate the balloon.
2. No Endoscopy: Unlike other intragastric balloons, the Elipse Balloon does not require an endoscopic procedure for placement or removal. Instead, it is naturally excreted from the body after a few months.
3. Limited Duration: The balloon remains in the stomach for a specified period, usually around 4 months, after which it automatically opens, allowing the liquid to pass through, and then it is excreted naturally.
4. Support Program: Patients using the Elipse Balloon often participate in a comprehensive weight loss program that includes dietary counseling and lifestyle support.
5. Weight Loss Results: Clinical studies have shown that individuals using the Elipse Balloon can achieve significant weight loss during the treatment period.
