The B-Clamp™ stomach clip is the answer to the gastric sleeve gastrectomy!

Lose weight without cutting off the stomach.
Preserve the stomach’s natural functions.

In the vertical clip gastroplasty or stomach clip procedure, the B-Clamp™ device (also known as the BariClip™) is implanted to achieve lasting weight loss in obese and severely obese patients. A medical-grade clip is placed vertically around the stomach, which does the trick.

  • Ideal for patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 29 and above who need effective weight loss
  • It is a safe and effective bariatric procedure, reducing the stomach’s capacity and dividing it into two parts while keeping its functions.
  • Revolutionary concept

The main advantages of this procedure:

✔ The B-Clamp™ is fully reversible
✔ No removal of parts of the stomach
✔ No rerouting of any part of the small bowel or altering anatomy
✔ Maintains normal gastric fluids
✔ Interacts with the nutrients
✔ Lower intra-sleeve pressure
✔ Fewer acid reflux issues

How does the B-Clamp™ work?

 

The B-Clamp™ (aka BariClip™) is an implantable device inserted laparoscopically and made from titanium with a medical-grade soft silicone cover. It is “clipped” and fixed vertically around the stomach’s larger part (the large curve), drastically restricting food capacity.

The device divides the stomach into two parts:

  1. A“restrictive” part which contains the nutrients.
  2. An “excluded” expandable part, which produces the gastric fluids.

The excluding part (old stomach) usually expands massively and produces gastric digestive fluids with natural pepsins and hormonal precursors. The restricted part (new stomach) is now much smaller, cannot expand as the “old stomach,” and will help patients feel full and satiated much faster.

What are the benefits of the B-Clamp™

 

The procedure leads to similar weight loss results as a gastric sleeve gastrectomy without having the inconveniences caused by removing a large part of the stomach (gastrectomy).

  • The B-Clamp™ can be removed if medically required, leaving a clean and normal stomach.
  • The B-Clamp™ is specially designed for younger patients struggling with as little as 20 pounds of excess weight.
  • The B-Clamp™ fills a gap in the medical field for necessary weight loss that could not be justified with more invasive bariatric procedures.

Without a doubt, the B-Clamp™ is another important modern medical achievement in the fight against one of the most life-threatening diseases: obesity.

✔ No stapling of the stomach
✔ No cutting of the stomach
✔ No more acid reflux
✔ Less dilatation of restricted stomach
✔ Fully reversible if needed

With weight-loss results like a Gastric Sleeve Gastrectomy.

“The results with the B-Clamp have shown that it will become the best option for bariatric surgery in specific cases.”

Who is Dr. Jacobs?

 

Dr. Jacobs pioneered in developing and published on the reversible Vertical Stomach Clip which mimics the gastric sleeve but requires no stapling or removal of the stomach. He is world renowned as a pioneer in laparoscopy and has taught and mentored hundreds of surgeons throughout the world.

The B-Clamp™ is:

✔ The best option in specific cases
✔ Gastrectomy sleeve-like results 
✔ No cutting of the stomach 
✔ Minimal downtime 
✔ Lessens or eliminates acid reflux 
✔ Reversible if required
