Bioring is an adjustable gastric band used to treat obesity via a minimally-invasive and reversible surgical technique. Gastric bands are fitted to the top of a person's stomach. As a result, the stomach can hold less food and the person feels full more quickly. Surgical techniques, plus support around long-term behaviour change, can produce dramatic weight loss and is sometimes a life-saving option. Gastric bands are one of few treatments available for obesity following diets, medicines and lifestyle changes.

This demo case shows three varying sizes of gastric band as well as the tools needed to prepare the bands and ‘ports’ for insertion.
