Magnetic Surgery

What is Magnetic Surgery?

Magnetic surgery is a safe and clinically-proven alternative to traditional bariatric surgery.

An external magnet is placed on your skin which controls a magnetic grasper inside your belly during surgery, eliminating a painful abdominal incision and resulting in less-invasive surgery.

Benefits of Magnetic Surgery

cosmetic

Better Cosmetic Results

Look better with fewer incisions and less scarring.

*Based on retrospective, single-center study of 296 patients comparing magnetic liver retraction vs. a conventional liver retractor in bariatric surgery. Patients in the magnetic surgery cohort had significantly decreased 12-hour post-operative pain scores and hospital length of stay.
