Intragastric Balloon Market Outlook:
Intragastric Balloons are inflatable balloon like sacs that are primarily used for weight loss procedures, when other traditional methods of dieting and exercise haven’t worked. They work by being placed inside the stomach walls either by a minimally invasive surgery or by non-surgical procedures, once placed they are inflated by being filled with either a liquid saline solution or air, due to which they occupy a large volume within the stomach. This gives the patient a feeling of satiety, and with the help of a controlled diet and exercise the patient can reduce eating portions and lose weight. The balloons are kept within the stomach for only 6 months and are either removed by endoscopy or they deflate automatically and pass through the digestive system.
