– Controls pouch size and provides lasting protection against stoma dilation

– Unique closing mechanism enables precise diameter adjustment during implantation

– Pre-curved shape allows easy placement

– Soft ring lowers risk of migration

The A.M.I. B-Band* is implanted around the stomach pouch in gastric bypass patients to stabilise the gastroenterostomy and prevent later dilation of the stoma, thereby promoting more sustained weight loss.
The band is the only one of its kind to allow seamless, precise adjustment of the required diameter during implantation.
The pre-tied knot in the closing loop is simply pushed forward with a standard knotpusher, 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 allow exact documentation of the band size during implantation.

The soft, pre-shaped, adjustable band:

– can be inserted through a 12 mm trocar
– is gentle on enclosed tissue
– reduces risk of migration
– can be closed with ease, and
– has a wide adjustment range for the perfect fit.
