THE B-CLAMP™ STOMACH CLIP IS THE ANSWER TO THE GASTRIC SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY!
Loose weight without cutting-off the stomach.
Preserve the natural functions of the stomach!
In the Vertical Clip Gastroplasty or Stomach Clip procedure, is the B-Clamp™ device implanted to achieve a lasting weight loss in obese and severe obese patients.
The concept is revolutionary. A medical-graded clip placed vertically around the stomach does the trick. This procedure is ideal for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) from 29 and higher, needing an effective weight loss.
The B-Clamp™, also known as the BariClip™, is a safe and effective bariatric procedure: reducing the capacity of the stomach by dividing the stomach in two parts and keeping the functions of the stomach.

✔ 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 B-Clamp™ (BariClip™) is an implantable device, inserted laparoscopically, made from titanium with a medical-graded soft silicone cover. It is “clipped” and fixed vertically around the stomach’s larger part (the large curve), drastically restricting the food capacity of the stomach.
The device divides the stomach in two parts: a “restrictive” part which contains the nutrients, and the “excluded” expandable part of stomach which produces the gastric fluids.
The excluding part (old stomach) usually expands massively and produces gastric digestive fluids with the natural pepsins and hormonal precursors. The restricted part (new stomach) is now much smaller, cannot expand as the “old stomach”, and will give a much faster feeling of fullness and satiation.
The procedure leads to similar weight loss results as seen with the Gastric Sleeve Gastrectomy, without having the inconveniences due to the 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 the younger patient struggling with as little as 20 pounds, or more, of excess weight.
The B-Clamp™ fills a gap that could not be justified with more invasive Bariatric procedures.
Without a doubt, the B-Clamp™ is another important achievement of modern medicine in the fight against one of the most threatening diseases for modern life: Obesity.
The Main advantages of this procedure
✔ the B-Clamp™ is fully reversible
✔ No removing of parts of the stomach
✔ No rerouting of any part of the small bowel or altering the anatomy
✔ keeping the normal gastric fluids interact with the nutrients
✔ lesser intra-sleeve pressure
✔ lesser acid-reflux issues
“The results with the B-Clamp have shown that it will become the best option for Bariatric surgery, in specific cases.”

The B-Clamp™ is:
✔ The best option in specific cases
✔ Gastrectomy Sleeve-like results
✔ No Cutting of the stomach
✔ Very little down-time
✔ Less or no acid-reflux
✔ Reversible if required
