Endobarrier is a medical device used for the treatment of obesity. It involves the insertion of a silicon band, which is placed in the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. The band creates a physical barrier that separates the stomach from the small intestine, reducing the absorption of dietary fat by up to 30%. This procedure aims to help patients lose weight and improve overall health.
