Minimally Invasive Bariatric Surgery
Get Started
GT Metabolic MagDI System
The MagDI System may offer a less invasive alternative to other bariatric procedures with no sutures, no staples, and no reported leaks or bleeds. The outcomes achieved using the MagDI System technology in bariatric procedures were consistent with outcomes achieved using existing devices and may offer a reduced risk of complications.
What is the MagDI System by GT Metabolic?
What does it mean to use magnets to create a new
connection in the small intestine? Using magnets to create a new connection in the small intestine (also called magnetic compression
anastomosis), is the latest surgical advancement that can be used in bariatric procedures. The technique uses two magnets to connect two parts of the small intestine without the need for surgical cuts, stitches, or staples at the site. The two magnets are used to gently bring the tissue together, creating a natural connection that allows the body to heal on its own.
How does it work?
- No magnets left behind. Magnets are naturally expelled after healing.
- Reduced risk of leaks or bleeds at the connection site. No leaks or bleeds were reported in all early clinical surgeries.
- Minimally invasive. Requires no cutting or piercing of small bowel tissue.
- Strong, natural connection. Supports uniform healing and is designed to provide a stronger connection.
- Future flexibility. Works with existing anatomy, which may preserve options for additional procedures, including reversal.
- Short hospital stay. Patients go home the same day or the following morning based on surgeon discretion
