About
MetaboShield is an intestinal sleeve that can be lodged permanently in the small intestine via the throat in an anesthesia-free procedure. The sleeve could help people shed unwanted weight and potentially help reverse Type 2 diabetes. The semi-flexible intestinal sleeve is placed at the end of the stomach, right at the start of the small intestine (in the duodenum), via the throat. MetaboShield was developed by students at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Biodesign program along with team members at the Hadassah Medical Center in Israel.
