BAROnova is a Silicon Valley based venture-backed company that has developed a novel non-surgical solution for obesity. BAROnova’s TransPyloric Shuttle®* (TPS®) is designed to slow gastric emptying which creates longer and more rapid satiety – a proven mechanism for driving significant weight loss. The TPS is placed endoscopically during a simple 15-minute outpatient procedure and is removed in a similar manner. The device resides in patients for up to 12 months to assist in sustained weight-loss.
