on

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Spatz Medical, a global leader in gastrointestinal weight loss solutions, is delighted to announce the commencement of commercialization of the Spatz3 Adjustable Gastric Balloon. With over 150,000 patients benefiting from the Spatz3 across more than sixty markets globally, the company is now poised to launch this revolutionary technology in the United States.

 

Spatz3 – Transforming Weight Loss with Adjustability

The Spatz3 Adjustable Gastric Balloon, renowned as the first and only adjustable gastric balloon, has earned widespread acclaim for its outstanding weight loss results and an impressive 84% success rate, as demonstrated in the FDA Pivotal trials and real-world applications. Developed by Dr. Jeffrey Brooks, CEO of Spatz Medical, the Spatz3 introduces a unique adjustability feature, allowing physicians to customize the balloon volume during the treatment period, addressing key challenges faced by traditional gastric balloon systems.

Clinical Trial Results from Pivotal Study:

The Spatz3’s efficacy and safety profile, as reported in the FDA Pivotal Study and published in The Lancet, established a new threshold for Intragastric Balloon results. Noteworthy outcomes include:

Fivefold Greater Weight Loss: Spatz3 Balloon patients achieved a remarkable 15% reduction in initial weight, in contrast to the control group’s 3% weight loss.Successful Weight Maintenance: 74.3% of patients maintained clinically significant weight loss for six months after balloon removal.Customized Adjustments: The adjustability feature played a crucial role, with down adjustments alleviating intolerance in 82% of cases and up adjustments at 18 weeks resulting in an additional 15.2% excess weight loss.Extended Treatment Time: the Spatz3 is approved for an 8-month treatment period, leading to more successful patient outcomes when compared to a standard, non-adjustable 6-month balloon.

Dr. Jeffrey Brooks on the Milestone Achievement

Dr. Jeffrey Brooks expressed his enthusiasm for this milestone, stating, “The completion of the FDA Post Approval Study enrollment and the affirmation of our clinical trial results mark a pivotal moment for Spatz Medical. For the first time in gastric balloon history, an adjustable gastric balloon affords patients a decision making role in their weight loss therapy, customized to their needs. That is reflected in the outstanding 15% weight loss and 84% success rate, not previously achieved by gastric balloons in FDA trials. With a substantial global presence and over 150,000 patients benefiting from Spatz3, we are thrilled to bring this proven solution to individuals across the United States.”

Comments from Professor Barham Abu Dayyeh MD, Internationally Renowned Innovator and Investigator of Bariatric Endoscopic procedures in the US.

Professor Abu Dayyeh, Principal Investigator of the Spatz3 FDA Pivotal Trial and Post Approval Study stated,

“The Spatz3 brings a new dimension in endoscopic bariatrics with its proprietary adjustability technology. The ability to change balloon volume during the course of treatment yielded an impressive 15% total body weight loss and 84% response rate in FDA clinical trials. Spatz will be an important and welcome addition to the endoscopic bariatric options in the US.”

Continued Commitment to Innovation

Spatz Medical remains committed to advancing the field of bariatric endoscopy through continued innovation. The Spatz3’s adjustability feature is a paradigm shift for intragastric balloons. It offers new possibilities for patients, including alleviating symptoms of balloon intolerance, preventing early intolerance with gradual filling of the balloon, and a rejuvenation option for those experiencing weight loss plateaus.

The Spatz3 is approved for use in adults with obesity and provides a customizable approach to weight loss for individuals who have not achieved desired results through supervised weight control programs, or who have failed with standard non-adjustable balloons.

LaVivid Hair Introduces Sports Hair Systems Collection for Men with Active Lifestyles

Published

on

By

LaVivid Hair launches a sports-focused hair systems collection designed for men who want breathable comfort, secure attachment, and natural-looking confidence during workouts, football season, summer activities, and everyday movement.

IRVINE, Calif., June 13, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As global football excitement builds and more men return to sports, workouts, travel, and outdoor activities, LaVivid Hair has introduced its Sports Hair Systems Collection, a curated lineup of breathable, secure, and natural-looking hair systems designed for men with active lifestyles.

Men should not have to choose between looking natural and living actively. This collection was created for customers who want to work out, play sports, travel, and enjoy daily life with more confidence.

For many men experiencing hair loss, staying active can bring concerns that go beyond performance. They may wonder whether a hair system will stay secure during sweat, whether the hairline will remain natural during movement, or whether they can focus on a game, workout, or summer activity without checking their hair.

LaVivid Hair created the Sports Hair Systems Collection to help answer those concerns with practical product choices built around comfort, hold, realism, and easier maintenance.

The collection focuses on four active-wear priorities:

Breathable comfort: Lace and lace-center constructions help improve airflow during warm weather, workouts, and active days.

Secure attachment: Hybrid bases with skin or poly perimeters provide a stable bonding area for tape or glue, helping wearers feel more confident during movement.

Natural appearance: Lace fronts, graduated hairlines, and realistic density options help maintain a natural look from different angles.

Easy maintenance: Active lifestyles require simple bonding, cleaning, and regular upkeep, especially after sweat, heat, or long wear.

“Men should not have to choose between looking natural and living actively,” said a LaVivid Hair spokesperson. “This collection was created for customers who want to work out, play sports, travel, and enjoy daily life with more confidence.”

Top recommendations from the Sports Hair Systems Collection include Simois, Light Crius, Upgrade Ares, and Mars. Each system serves a different active-wear need, from breathable full lace comfort to hybrid lace-and-skin constructions that balance airflow with secure bonding.

Simois is designed for wearers who want a breathable lace center, a natural lace front hairline, and a skin perimeter for reliable attachment. Light Crius offers a lower-density look with French lace comfort and easy bonding, making it suitable for warm-weather wear and lighter active routines. Upgrade Ares combines a lace center with an ultra-thin skin front for wearers who want a natural front appearance with practical maintenance. Mars, a full lace option, is ideal for men who prioritize maximum breathability and lightweight comfort for light sports and summer activity.

For sports and active lifestyles, LaVivid Hair also recommends pairing the right base with dependable attachment products such as Ultra Hold Tape and Ultra Hold Glue. The right adhesive routine can help improve confidence during workouts, football matches, and daily movement.

The Sports Hair Systems Collection is now available at LaVivid Hair. Customers can explore the collection here:
