TRANSPYLORIC SHUTTLE®*
The BAROnova® technology consists of a TransPyloric Shuttle device that is inserted into the stomach through the mouth using a simple endoscopic procedure. Once in place, the TransPyloric Shuttle may cause a patient’s stomach to fill up faster, stay full longer, and potentially delay gastric emptying, which is a known mechanism of action for weight loss.1
