Overweight

Overweight is defined as a body mass index (BMI) above 25. Obesity is defined as a BMI over 30. The balloon is designed for an overweight or obese population, enabling them to lose 10 to 15% of their body weight with this procedure, thereby reducing cardiovascular, metabolic and osteoarticular risks in patients.

The Allurion balloon is the only mechanical, non-invasive procedure (no anaesthesia or endoscopy for insertion or removal) to achieve weight loss of up to 15% of the initial weight.

The revolutionary aspect of this procedure is that it does not require social eviction, and that the patient participates in the balloon placement.

The patient remains the master of this procedure and follows the balloon placement live, with radiological monitoring.

The procedure is a multidisciplinary one, and the nutritional and psychological support provided makes it even more effective.
