New Year’s weight-loss resolution setters could get a boost from the AspireAssist, which sucks food directly out of the stomach through an implanted tube.
Developed by Aspire Bariatrics (headed by Segway inventor Dean Kamen), the AspireAssist system features a thin silicon tube that runs from the inside of the stomach to a poker-chip sized Skin-Port on the surface of the abdomen. Twenty minutes after the meal has been completed, the user attaches the held-held AspireAssist to the tube and turns a lever, allowing the barely-digested food to exit the stomach and flow into the device’s reservoir. The device will remove only a third of the food, leaving behind enough calories for the body to function.
According to the developers, the AspireAssist is a tool to help patients lose weight as they learn more healthful eating habits. It is already available in some parts of Europe.
