Spatz3 is the only Adjustable Gastric Balloon in the world, helping achieve optimal weight loss results while changing your attitude towards food.
The Spatz3 Adjustable Gastric Balloon is inserted during a 15-minute non-invasive outpatient procedure. No incisions or hospitalization is required. It is a walk-in, walk-out weight loss procedure.
The Spatz3 is placed in the stomach and occupies approximately one-third of the stomach's volume. This causes the stomach toempty very slowly, keeping food in longer than usual. The food builds up over time, producing “signals” that alert the patient that food is abundant in the stomach. As a result, the patient can learnto read these signals and develop healthier eating habits while losing weight!
Stomach Capacities - 2 Hours after a Meal
The stomach is almost empty
The stomach is still full with food and the baloon
Results from Spatz Medical US clinical trials confirm that Spatz3, the only Adjustable Gastric Balloon, delivers the highest success rates of all weight loss balloons
While gastric balloons lose effect by the 4th month, increasing the volume of the Spatz3 re-energizes the balloon effect, helping people achieve higher weight loss results.
Lowering the volume of the gastric balloon helps patients deal with balloon intolerance and significantly reduces the chances of early balloon extraction.

Spatz3 Adjustable Gastric Balloon results compared withnon-adjustable balloons:
Highest weight loss results & highest success rates (response rates)
Extra weight loss after up-adjustment
Down-adjustment alleviates intolerance
Testimonial from a doctor:
"I have been using the balloon on 1000 patients for the past 5 years, with good success rates, low index of early withdrawal and good tolerance of patients. However, in my view, its main advantage over other types of intragastric balloons is the possibility of readjustments, which I usually do int he 4th month, when normally the weight loss begins to decrease bringing the patient to a new level of satiety and weight loss. In this way, I can better control the treatment and adaptation of the balloon inside the stomach."

Once introduced into the body, the saline-filled balloon will occupy about one third of the stomach cavity. This decreases the quantity of food that the stomach can hold. The presence of the balloon also interferes with stomach emptying so that food stays in the stomach longer. Together, these effects promote eating smaller quantities of food.
The Spatz3 intragastric balloon has several advantages.
1) It is adjustable, which means it is dynamic and its volume can be changed as your needs change.
2) It is approved for longer implantation time in comparison to other products in the market.
Spatz3 is the first balloon to have both of these advantages. Leaving a balloon in the stomach longer without changing the volume of the balloon is not likely to produce greater weight loss. The longer implantation time also gives you longer behavior modification time which yields longer lasting behavioral changes.
A standard endoscopy with sedation is performed. If no abnormalities are found, the gastric balloon is inserted via the mouth into the stomach – all under sedation. Once inside the stomach, the balloon is filled with sterile saline through a small filling tube attached to the balloon.
Placements of the balloon and adjustment procedures take approximately 15 minutes, after which patients are monitored for approximately 1 hour and then sent home.
The intragastric balloon is designed to assist with weight loss in people who have 10 kilograms or more (22 lbs or more) of weight to lose, or those individuals with a BMI greater than 27 (In some countries, the standard is a BMI greater than 30).
Spatz3 can also be used for people who are not suitable candidates for weight loss surgery or are afraid to undergo weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery such as Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy, Lap Band surgery and others). The use of the balloon may assist in reducing weight prior to any surgery, therefore reducing the risks associated with surgical procedures. The Spatz Gastric Balloon is the ideal noninvasive alternative to bariatric surgeries.
