ReShape DuoTM is designed to be placed in the stomach during a 15-30 minute outpatient procedure using conscious sedation. The procedure is completely non-surgical: there are no incisions, sutures or scars. The dual-balloon remains in the stomach for six months and is then removed.
ReShape Duo Placement
While the patient is under conscious sedation, an endoscope is inserted through the mouth into the stomach. The un-inflated balloons are advanced over a guidewire and are precisely placed in the stomach. Each balloon is inflated with saline and independently sealed. The device is released and remains in the stomach for six months, serving as built-in portion control.
ReShape Duo Removal
After six months, the patient returns for the device to be removed during a second 15-30 minute outpatient endoscopic procedure. Each balloon is completely drained in a controlled manner. A snare securely captures the deflated dual-balloon and the device is removed through the mouth.
