Allurion Elipse Swallowable Gastric Balloon

 

 

 

 

A proven alternative to ineffective dieting, without surgery, anaesthesia, or endoscopy… just long-lasting results.

The Elipse® Balloon is a soft, polyurethane balloon packaged into a swallowable capsule connected to a thin filling catheter . After it has been swallowed and is confirmed to be in place by X-ray, the balloon is inflated through the filling catheter to 550ml with its own fluid, to about the size of a grapefruit. After approximately 16 weeks, the Elipse® Balloon is designed to deflate automatically, at which time the deflated balloon is passed naturally into the toilet.

How Does It Work?

The 'Elipse Balloon ( which is called the Allurion Balloon in different countries) is a pill balloon capsule, which is swallowed under the guidance of your doctor without anaesthesia or endoscopy*.

The Balloon will be inflated in your stomach, checked using quick x-rays and you’ll be on your way! The entire procedure takes approximately 20 minutes with an outpatient visit. You will also be supported by the Allurion Connected Scale, Health Tracker, and App.

The Allurion Balloon is safe, non-permanent, recommended by doctors, and can help you kickstart an average loss of 10-15% of your body weight in just 16 weeks⁴ alongside our fully supported 6-month lifestyle Programme.

After ~16 weeks the pill balloon degrades and leaves the body naturally.

The results can last a lifetime. By the time the balloon passes, you’ve developed new food preferences, adjusted to smaller portion sizes, and developed a new understanding of your body which leads to real results, not endless yo-yo-ing. 

The Allurion Balloon is a safe, non-permanent solution and can help you to kickstart your weight-loss journey .
