What does SlimTarget Medical do?
SlimTarget Medical is applying proven focused ultrasound technology to curb appetite and achieve weight loss in overweight patients who also suffer from chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. SlimTarget Medical's MRI-guided treatment applies a focused ultrasound beam to ablate a carefully defined point in the brain that has been shown to increase appetite in patients. The delicate ablation procedure is performed applying a proven FDA-approved method. Current trials are demonstrating that the one to two-hour noninvasive procedure is precise, painless, requires no hospitalization or medications, and has long-term effect, making it a viable and attractive alternative to bariatric surgery. It aims to reduce the number of invasive bariatric surgeries and associated complications, as well as the costs and the time of treatment.
