What is a programmable gastric capsule?

A programmable gastric capsule, or smart capsule, is a medical capsule that can be easily swallowed with a small amount of water without the need for anesthesia. If a person has difficulty swallowing it, the doctor can easily assist them. After the capsule is swallowed, the doctor fills it with a medical solution of up to 550 cubic centimeters, causing it to expand and take the shape of a balloon inside the stomach. The doctor then withdraws the thin tube connected to the capsule.

Once the capsule has settled in the stomach, the doctor performs an X-ray to confirm that it is in the correct position.

Features of the ELIPSE Smart Capsule

Here is some important information you should know about smart stomach capsules:

  • Suitable only for certain cases: The smart capsule is not suitable for everyone; it is ideal for people who need to lose only 15 to 20 kilograms, but it may not be the best solution for those who are severely obese and wish to lose a significant amount of weight.
  • A simple and quick procedure: The capsule is easily inserted without the need for surgery or anesthesia. All it takes is a short visit to the clinic, where the procedure takes only about 15 minutes.
  • You feel full quickly: As soon as the capsule settles in your stomach, it helps significantly reduce the size of your stomach, making you feel full quickly and limiting the amount of food you eat, which contributes to weight loss.
  • Safe and Biodegradable: The capsule is made in the United States and is considered very safe. It dissolves after 4 months and is naturally excreted in the stool without the need for any additional medical intervention.
  • No endoscope required: Unlike standard capsules, which require the use of an endoscope during insertion and removal, smart stomach capsules do not require an endoscope, making them more comfortable and convenient for the patient.
