The MIDBAND
Adjustable Gastric Banding
|
|
|
The MIDBAND is manufactured by
the French company in Lyon, Médical
Innovation Développement. It was
designed with the advice and guidance of
Dr. Vincent Frering after his extensive
experience with other bands, such as the
American Lapband (Inamed)and the Swedish
Band (previously Obtech and now Johnson
& Johnson).
The MIDBAND is an adjustable
peri-gastric belt, implantable by
laparoscopy. It is indicated for surgical
treatment of morbid obesity defined by an
index of mass in excess of 40 kg/m2 (or
35 kg/m2 with co-morbidities).
The MIDBAND provides a very
attractive alternative to conventional
surgical methods which are more invasive
and irreversible, requiring extended
hospitalisation.
The MIDBAND is extremely
flexible making it easy to fit. It is
inextensible, and the unique double
closure system ensures a fastening
capacity far in excess of the
physiological conditions required.
The MIDBAND has no sharp edges
or irregularities therby preserving the
gastric wall intact, even in event of
rubbing. It is opaque to X rays, making
it easy to locate and adjust. |
