GT Metabolic Solutions develops magnetic compression anastomosis technology for minimally invasive bariatric and metabolic surgeries, eliminating the need for incisions, sutures, or staples. This approach facilitates duodeno-ileal anastomosis, promoting natural tissue healing and improving weight loss outcomes for patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Problem
Traditional bariatric and metabolic surgeries often require incisions, sutures, or staples to create anastomoses, which can lead to complications and impede natural tissue healing. These invasive techniques may result in longer recovery times and increased patient discomfort.
Solution
GT Metabolic Solutions has developed a magnetic compression anastomosis technology designed for minimally invasive bariatric and metabolic surgeries. This technique eliminates the need for incisions, sutures, or staples by using magnets to achieve anastomosis, promoting natural tissue healing. The MagDI™ System facilitates side-to-side duodeno-ileal anastomosis, creating a partial diversion of intestinal contents intended to facilitate durable weight loss and improve glycemic control in obese patients with or without type 2 diabetes. This less-invasive approach aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce the risks associated with traditional surgical methods.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes bariatric and metabolic surgeons seeking minimally invasive surgical solutions, as well as obese patients with or without type 2 diabetes who are candidates for duodeno-ileal anastomosis.
