Benefits of the B-Clamp™
The B-Clamp™ is the newest solution in medical technology for weight loss. It is designed to be placed vertically over the stomach as a "Sleeve", it provides similar weight loss results as the Gastric Sleeve procedure, and the B-Clamp™ can be surgically removed leaving the original stomach intact.
- Specially designed for younger patients struggling with as few as 20 pounds (10 kgs) of excess weight and needing to reduce their health risks.
- Indicated for a BMI of 30 and more.
- May also be favorable for an older or younger population.
Is the B-Clamp™ suitable for me?
The B-Clamp™ might be right for you if you meet the following conditions:
- Adults 18 - 65 years of age.
- Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 35 kg/m2.
- Body Mass Index (BMI) between 30 kg/m2 and 40 kg/m2 with one or more obesity related comorbid conditions.
- Persons that have previously failed in more conservative weight reduction alternatives, such as supervised diet, exercise or behavior modification programs.
- Patients who elect to have this surgery must make the commitment to accept significant changes in their eating habits for the rest of their lives.
Please consult your medical professional to know more of the conditions.
Reduce the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, hyperlipidemia, and more…
It is known that diabetes cannot be fully cured, but control over the condition will improve with this surgery. Remission can even be achieved—meaning that symptoms will disappear, and the laboratory values will be within the normal range again without having to take diabetes medications.
The B-clamp™ or stomach clip:
- Helps reduce the risk of insulin resistance, diabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver, and dyslipidemia (high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides).
- It improves or cures joint pain. For instance, just reducing the total body weight by 10 percent helps relieve the pressure on the joints, such as the knees and ankles. Therefore, losing weight improves joint pain and reduces the inflammatory substances that can lead to the development of arthritis.
- Losing weight in such a way, improves infertility problems.
- It also reduces the risk of suffering from a severe form of COVID-19.
Some of the health benefits of B-Clamp™:
The B-Clamp™ reduces
- Liver steatosis (fatty liver) by 90%
- Liver inflammation by 37%
- Liver fibrosis by 20%
The B-Clamp™ improves the quality of life in 95% of patients.
It has very little side effects:
- Minimally invasive procedure with a quick recovery
- Patients can be discharged the same day
The various studies on patients with B-Clamp published shows the percentage of excess weight (%EWL) achieved by various groups throughout the world is approximately 60 % at 2 years. The own study, by Prof. Dr. Jacobs, et all, demonstrates approximately 45% EWL at 5 years.

The benefits of the B-Clamp™ procedure
Lasting and effective weight loss!
- Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease
- Prevents or improves type-2 diabetes mellitus
- Reduces inflammation leading to arthritis
- Reduces pressure and pain in the joints

This type of surgery and weight loss can help to improve different aspects of your physiological health and thus help you live with a better quality of life. The results have shown that this procedure is one of the best options in bariatric surgery.
The B-Clamp™ is a restrictive and reversible procedure.
Highlight on some of the pioneers and international experts
“The results with the B-Clamp have shown that it becomes the best option for bariatric surgery in specific cases.”
Pr. Dr. Jacobs pioneered the development of the reversible vertical gastric clip, which mimics the gastric sleeve but requires no stapling or removal of the stomach.
Dr. Jacobs is world-renowned as a pioneer in laparoscopy and has taught and mentored hundreds of surgeons worldwide.
“The Gastri clip is a new restrictive procedure that helps you lose 60–70% of your excess weight. It can give you the same results as a gastric sleeve without changing your body’s anatomy—making it completely reversible!”
Dr. Patrick Noel, MD, FACS, FASMBS
Dr. Patrick Noel was trained in minimally invasive surgery in the early ’90s and has quickly become one of the most representative laparoscopic surgeons in France. He is at the origin of the Posterior Approach to the sleeve gastrectomy. It enables faster surgery with a minimal number of incisions and without the use of a liver retractor.
Dr. Noel took part in the development of the BariClip, a new surgical technique in the bariatric field; he launched it worldwide by being the first surgeon to introduce it in the Middle East and Europe.
“Having the advantages of the reversibility by clipping and not cutting the stomach, the BariClip procedure reproduces the effect of the SG without adding the risk of leaks and minimizes the occurrence of postoperative GERD by decreasing the intragastric pressure.”
