B-Band
The B-Band is implanted around the stomach pouch in gastric bypass patients to stabilise the gastroenterostomy and reduce later dilation of the stoma, thereby promoting more sustained weight loss. The B-Band allows precise adjustment of the required diameter during implantation. The band circumference can be adjusted every 2 mm until the inner diameter of the implant matches the outer diameter of the encircled stomach tissue. Use of a gastric tube enables the size to be standardised. Markings on the band (at 6.5 cm, 7.5 cm, and 8.5 cm) allow exact documentation of the band size during implantation.
An adjustable bypass band placed around the gastric pouch:
- controls stoma dilation
- promotes improved excess weight loss
- over a longer period of time
Features:
- Soft Silicone Band
- Unique Closing Mechanism
- Pre-Curved Shape
Benefits:
- Reduced Risk of Erosion
- Controlled Diameter Adjustment
- Facilitates Ease of Placement
