Gastric Band HELIOGAST

Adjustable Gastric Band for Morbid Obesity Treatment

Heliogast is the adjustable gastric band that allows for easy, stress-free, and lasting treatment of morbid obesity.

The band is connected to a subcutaneous device—an implantable port-a-catheter—which allows its internal diameter to be adjusted by injecting saline solution.

HELIOGAST Gastric Band Surgical Procedure

This simple and easy-to-perform technique is mastered by many surgical teams. It is generally performed laparoscopically and requires only a short hospital stay. Due to its non-invasive and reversible nature, this procedure is recommended in most cases.

Multidisciplinary Patient Care

Postoperative rehabilitation is essential to help patients adapt their eating habits. Patients are cared for by a multidisciplinary team including surgeons, gastroenterologists, dietitians, and psychologists.

The team plays a crucial role in weight loss, weight stabilization, and patient recovery: obesity has diverse causes, thus requiring a comprehensive approach.

Highly Effective Heliogast HAGA Gastric Band

The excellent tolerability is directly linked to the significant effectiveness of the Heliogast HAGA gastric band in terms of weight loss. While studies have confirmed that successful gastric banding surgery should allow patients to lose 50% of their initial excess weight, Heliogast helps patients maintain this ideal result in the long term.

Well-Tolerated HELIOGAST Gastric Band

The tolerability data for the Heliogast gastric band has been the subject of numerous publications. Since its launch, of more than 9,000 cases analyzed, one in ten Heliogast gastric bands has been included in scientific studies. The incidence of complications such as band slippage or gastric pouch dilation is extremely low (<3%), and patient comorbidities have also significantly improved.

Professional HELIOGAST Technology

Reversible Surgery

The HELIOGAST gastric band is an adjustable band implanted in the upper part of the stomach, dividing it into two parts like an hourglass. The gastric pouch can be calibrated using a probe. The band is connected to the implanted port by a catheter, allowing it to be inflated or deflated (tightened or loosened).

Band Sizes Available

HAGA

Maximum total volume: 10 cm³

This band is the only one with a double-supported adjustable membrane, designed to improve stability and reduce the risk of displacement.

HAGE

Maximum total volume: 7 cm³

Implanted Port Sizes

Three unique, patented implanted ports with a silicone surface ensure patient comfort. Among them, the cylindrical port (EV3) allows for 360° puncture without fixation, thus eliminating the risk of port inversion.

Delivery in Tunisia

Delivery of the HELIOGAST gastric band is available in Tunis and throughout Tunisia.
