POSE 2.0
Datasheet Brochure JournalOverview
The minimally invasive endoluminal approach has evolved to become a mainstream treatment option for obesity. Particularly, endoscopic remodelling of the stomach and restricting the gastric lumen by placing multiple, internal, full-thickness suture plication has been shown to affect hunger and appetite and to induce effective and sustained weight-loss.
The modified POSE procedure (POSE 2.0) aims to narrow and shorten the stomach significantly in comparison with its original size. Involving the use of the incisionless operating platform, POSE 2.0 has 4 distinct componants:
- Transport
- g-Lix
- g-Prox EZ
- g-Cath EZ
The flexible transport (18mm) has a control handle with 2 wheels that can be used to deflect the tip in all 4 directions. It has 4 working channels designed for deployment of the accessories, and an additional side port for insertion of an ultra-thin upper endoscope.
The g-Lix is a flexible tissue anchor catheter with a helical design at the distal end used for anchoring and positioning the target tissue inside the g-Prox.
The multi-functional rotatable g-Prox EZ endoscopic grasper is used for tissue grasping and mobilisation. Each distal serrated jaw is 3.3 cm in length and can capture a large amount of tissue. In the jaws, there is a suture cutting component to trim the excess g-Cath EZ suture tail.
The g-Cath EZ tissue anchor delivery catheter is introduced through the lumen at the proximal end of the g-Prox EZ. It is preloaded with a dynamic snow shoe suture anchor and has a needle at the distal end. Once the target tissue is mobilised inside g-Prox, the needle penetrates through the tissue and releases the pair of preloaded suture anchors and cinches them to form a plication

Obesity is associated with many serious diseases
- Obesity (BMI >30) is one of the biggest drivers of preventable chronic diseases and health care cost in the United States, ranging from $147B to $210B per year (1)
- Obesity costs the global economy $2 trillion annually or 2.8% of global GDP (2)
- Healthcare costs for individuals with severe obesity are 81% higher than normal BMI adults (3)
- Obesity is associated with a 50 – 100% increased risk of premature death (4)
- Early evidence indicates that obesity is a major risk factor among patients with COVID-19 (5)

“Treatment Gap” exists with few available solutions
- Treatment gap exists between low effectiveness weight loss options and high risk invasive surgical procedures
- Large patient population, typically between BMI 30 to 40, who have no effective treatment option
- Endobariatrics fills this treatment gap
