Our product
An endoscopically implantable tubular prosthesis that lines the duodenum
The Trans-Duodenal Barrier is an endoscopically implantable tubular prosthesis made of polyurethane that lines the duodenum and fixes itself to the gastric outlet with two air-filled balloons.
It is inserted during a gastroscopy and removed again after 6 months. Similar to bypass surgery, this improves diabetes and reduces weight.
There is a wide gap between the often ineffective conservative treatment involving “lifestyle modifications” (diet, exercise, nutritional counseling) and the highly invasive and irreversible treatment provided by bariatric surgery.
Transduodenal Concepts closes this gap in diabetes therapy, the treatment of fatty liver disease and obesity treatment by combining an innovative endoscopic technique with ultra-thin polyurethane balloons.

Following clinical studies, CE certification and multicenter PMCF studies, we plan to have the Trans-Duodenal Barrier ready for the market in 2028.
Our vision
A reversible and safe therapy for diabetes patients
We would like to offer a reversible therapy for patients who are at an earlier stage of the disease, in which a tube prosthesis is anchored in the stomach and upper small intestine as part of an outpatient gastroscopy.
We want to offer a safe, effective and easy-to-use product that closes the gap between the conservative forms of therapy available to date and irreversible surgery.
