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.

Personal Injury Attorney Missy Wigginton Explains Truck Accident Settlement Timelines in HelloNation

The Article Outlines Key Factors That Affect Settlement Timelines and Explains Why Complex Truck Accident Cases Often Take Longer to Resolve.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 19, 2026/PRNewswire/ — The Article Outlines Key Factors That Affect Settlement Timelines and Explains Why Complex Truck Accident Cases Often Take Longer to Resolve.

How long does it take to settle a truck accident case in Memphis, Tennessee? A HelloNation article explores the factors that shape the truck accident claims timeline and why outcomes can vary widely.

The HelloNation article notes that a truck accident settlement in Memphis, TN, can take anywhere from a few months to more than a year, depending on injury severity and case complexity. It explains that while some claims resolve quickly, others require extended review to ensure all damages are properly calculated. The article emphasizes that understanding the full timeline of injury claim settlements helps individuals set realistic expectations.

According to the article, one of the main contributors to delays in personal injury cases in Tennessee is the detailed nature of a commercial vehicle accident investigation. Unlike standard car accidents, truck crashes often involve reviewing driver logs, maintenance records, and vehicle electronic data. The article explains that this level of analysis is necessary to determine fault and establish truck accident liability in Memphis, but it also extends the time needed to reach a resolution.

The article also notes that multiple parties are often involved in trucking accident insurance claims. These may include the truck driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, and insurance carriers. When responsibility is shared, negotiations become more complex. The article describes how disputes over truck accident liability in Memphis can lead to longer discussions and additional documentation requests, further extending the truck accident claims timeline.

Another key factor discussed is medical treatment. The HelloNation article explains that injured individuals are often advised to wait until they reach maximum medical improvement before finalizing a truck accident settlement in Memphis, TN. This ensures the claim includes both current and future medical needs. The article notes that settling too early can result in compensation that does not fully cover long-term care, underscoring the importance of patience in the injury claim settlement timeline.

The article further explains that insurance companies play a significant role in delays in personal injury cases in Tennessee. In high-value trucking accident insurance claims, insurers typically conduct thorough reviews and may challenge the extent of injuries or damages. This can lead to prolonged negotiations and additional requests for evidence, which can extend the time it takes to settle a case.

Court involvement is another factor that can influence the timeline. The article describes how some cases require litigation when a fair agreement cannot be reached through negotiation. In these situations, court schedules and procedural requirements may add months to the timeline for truck accident claims. While many cases settle before trial, the possibility of litigation remains an important consideration.

Injury severity also directly affects the length of the commercial vehicle accident investigation and settlement process. The article explains that cases involving minor injuries often resolve more quickly, while those involving serious or catastrophic harm take longer to evaluate medical costs, lost income, and long-term care needs. These elements are critical to determining fair compensation in trucking accident insurance claims.

The article concludes that every truck accident settlement in Memphis, TN, follows its own path, shaped by unique circumstances. Factors such as evidence collection, medical recovery, liability disputes, and insurance review all contribute to delays in personal injury cases in Tennessee. By understanding these variables, individuals can better navigate the process and make informed decisions.

How Long Does It Take to Settle a Truck Accident Case in Memphis, TN? features insights from Personal Injury Expert Missy Wigginton, an attorney in Memphis, Tennessee, in HelloNation.
