The FDA approved the Allurion swallowable gastric balloon, a non-surgical weight-loss device, for U.S. adults with obesity.
The FDA has approved Allurion’s swallowable gastric balloon system, the first non-surgical, anesthesia-free weight-loss device in the U.S., for adults with obesity (BMI 30–40).
The Allurion Smart Capsule is swallowed, expands in the stomach, and remains for four months before naturally passing.
It aids weight loss by promoting fullness and reducing food intake.
Approval was based on clinical trial data showing significant weight loss, with up to 14% body weight loss in four months, and real-world evidence.
The device is used alongside lifestyle therapy and is being rolled out across the U.S. with physician training.
