Gastric Balloon

Silimed - Contorno Corporal

The intragastric balloon is a non-surgical recourse to be used in treatments for weight reduction and alimentary re-education. It is made of a spherical SILIMED envelope that is resistant to gastric juice, inserted in the stomach through a procedure similar to endoscopy, and remains there for six months.
