Medical Devices Strive to Fill Void in Obesity
Treatment
The o besity medi cal device ind ustry is exp ected to
experience significant change in the n ear future, a s new
products come to market, older p roducts see a decline in
sales, physi cian a doption increa ses world wide, and
supporting d evice reim bursement is p ut in place. While
bariatric surg ery te chniques have demonstrated not able
improvements in safety and efficacy compared with years
prior, aversi on to inte rvention has curbed operation
prevalence to less than 1% of suitable obese candidates.
Moreover, di abetes indi cations fu rther drive ob esity
medical devi ces sal es by loweri ng th e thre shold body
mass in dex for patie nts to receive i mplantation, and
comorbidities like this can o ften necessitate intervention.
With limited options in re gards to ph armacotherapy, and
near-unanimous disinclination to surgery, there i s a void
in treatment options, an d medical d evices are u p for
substantial adoption.
Allergan Sees Decline in Sales as New Devices Enter
the Market
Whereas th e obe sity treatment d evice in dustry has
previously been dominated by restrictive devices such as
the Lap-Band (Allergan) and artificial fullness devices like
the Orbe ra (Allerga n), Global Data now ex pects
noteworthy adoption of malabsorption devices, including
the EndoB arrier (GI Dynamics) an d the soon -to-be-
approved ValenTx (ValenTx), in lieu of wani ng interest in
gastric banding and no n-adjustable intragastric balloons,
which h ave seen a suggestive de cline in po pularity as
long-term outcomes have been published, demonstrating
lack of efficacy and frequent explantations.
Improvements in Gastric Electrical Stimulation
Long-sought gastric electrical stimulation technology has
advanced sig nificantly in re cent years, and t wo d evices
available on the market today, the Abiliti (IntraPace, Inc.)
and DIAMOND Ta ntalus (Meta Cure, Inc.), have bee n
gaining phy sician inte rest inte rnationally. Besi des
targeting the stoma ch, similar stimulation tech nologies
have be en developed fo r the hypothalamus, utili zing
deep brain stimulation, including the NeuroSigma device,
a device that is currently in preclinical testing. In addition,
matching advancements in neuronal blocking technology
have ena bled patient-sp ecific vag al blockin g therapy,
with o ne device al ready app roved, the Vblo c Ma estro
System (E nteroMedics), and add itional products
expected to enter development in the future.
Endoscopic Approaches Increasingly Popular
Among Patients
Other d evice techn ologies which have und ergone
noteworthy i mprovement inclu de endoscopic suturing
and stapling tools, capable of stomach reduction surgery
via transoral, inci sionless access, which is in creasingly
popular fo r those strongl y oppo sed to sca rs. Lastly,
despite a rtificial fulln ess device s seeing a de cline in
sales, phy sicians a re n onetheless e xcited ab out the
development of the Tran sPyloric Shuttle (Baronova) and
Full Sense Device (BFKW), whi ch are both still in
development, but tout next-gene ration technolo gy and
could potenti ally see widespread ad option. Num erous
other devices are in d evelopment as the obesity medical
device industry continues to grow.

What do Physicians Think?
While surgi cal procedu re volume s remain l ow, the
number of physicians performing these surgeries is small
as well, which will drive minimally invasive device sales.
Device use is ideal for trea ting patients who wish to lose
weight, but are not morbidly obese surgical candidates.
“The incapability of surgeons to operate on the numbers
that they want to will drive device sales … there is still a
very important gap for patients who have a BMI between
30 and 40, because they are not surgical candidates
…THERE is the endoscopic [device] field.”
Key Opinion Leader, April 2013
While d evice use h as increa sed in re cent years,
procedures are still expensive and reim bursement is still
lacking, which h as been a maj or barrier to d evice
adoption.
“Most people can’t afford to pay for a device out of
pocket, so insurance reimbursement is a pretty critical
issue with [treatment of obesity]. A lot of [device
adoption] has to do with reimbursement issues.”
Key Opinion Leader, April 2013
Despite mini mal reim bursement cu rrently, Global Data
expects com pensation fo r medical dev ices in the near
term, a s efficacy im proves and lon g-term out comes are
published.
“When [insurers] incorporate the coverage of the surgery,
they have to include all the different risks of surgery, so
for the insurance companies, device use is cheaper and
better. They know that, but they are not forced by law
now [to provide reimbursement], so it’s a matter of time.”
Key Opinion Leader, April 2013
Open surg ery and la paroscopic p rocedures l eave scars
and can be complicated with bleeding and infection; as a
result, transoral, inc isionless devic es have seen a
dramatic rise in use.
“I think there’s been some desire to have procedures that
are less invasive, don’t leave scars, have lower
complication rates than current procedures. I think that’s
what’s driving [sales].”
Key Opinion Leader, April 2013
New device sale s are driven by waning inte rest in
currently app roved d evices, su ch a s th e non -adjustable
intragastric balloon, which has mixed effectiveness in the
long term.
“The balloon isn’t going to be effective in overly obese
patients, not in this lifetime.”
Key Opinion Leader, April 2013
Next-generation te chnologies in g astric stim ulation
previously showed po or effica cy, but re cent
improvements in de sign are ma king the se devices
increasingly competitive.
“I think if we can progress with gastric stimulation, it
probably is one thing that could pick up in the future. If
gastric stimulation already worked, it would probably be
[the preferred] procedure…”

2 Introduction
Obesity is on e of th e most prevalent health conditions impacting the worldwide healthcare market
today, yet tre atment is limi ted and the industry is largely underserved. Exercise and dieting have
generally proven ineffective, and while pharmaceuticals and bariatric surgery have improved over
the past few decades, the adoption of these treatments remains limited. Furthermore, only a small
percentage o f patients utilizing ph armacotherapy options eve r su ccessfully lose excess body
weight from taking these drugs, and many have undesirable side effects. As a result, the med-tech
industry is striving to take signifi cant market share from the failing pharmaceutical industry. All but
three marketed pharmaceuticals that were once available have b een discontinued due to lack of
efficacy. Whi le pipelin e p roducts have sho wn som e potential, particula rly for spe cific target
populations, doctors aren’t expecting an obesity blockbuster drug any time soon.
For many patients who have not had success with exercising, dieting, or pharmacotherapy, surgical
intervention offers a potential solution; however, patients are reluctant to opt for surgery because it
can be extremely invasive and is not easily reversible, if at all. Approximately 20 million Americans
qualify for insurance coverage for bariatric surgery, yet only 200,000 opt to have it done. In l ieu of
invasive b ariatric surgery and in effective pharma cotherapy, ma ny patients are now turn ing to
device impla ntation a s a safe and ef fective adj unct to a life style ch ange program to promote
healthy weight loss.
2.1 Catalyst
The troubling and ever-increasing prevalence of obesity is well kno wn, yet effect ive treatment has
been hi storically elusive, particula rly in rega rds to drug the rapy. As medical device safety and
efficacy has improved, along with reduced manufacturing costs, improved implantation methods,
and ever-am assing clinical experie nce, more and more patie nts are n ow turning to devi ce
implantation for weight-loss indications. When used in combination with lifestyle changes, bariatric
devices have exhibited notable weight-loss results and generated significant attention worldwide.
There are a number of d evices in the industry that take ve ry different approaches to weight loss;
some m arket segm ents a re mo re mat ure tha n ot hers. Altogeth er, thoug h, the obe sity medical
device i ndustry is exp ected to expe rience significant gro wth in th e co ming fe w yea rs, d riven by
physician adoption, patient awareness and increased device efficacy.
