LAP-BAND® System

The LAP-BAND® System is a silicone adjustable band that is placed around the upper portion of the stomach to restrict the amount of food that can be consumed and to create a longer feeling of satiety. The LAP-BAND® System is designed to be placed laparoscopically without cutting or stapling of the stomach or gastrointestinal re-routing to bypass normal digestion. The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, adjustable and reversible.
