The latest generation
of the LAP-BAND® System - the LAP-BAND AP®
System - is the most advanced adjustable gastric banding
system approved by the FDA and was built on a proven
heritage of effectiveness. |
The LAP-BAND AP® System uses
patented Omniform™ echnology—soft, precurved, individual
sections—and introduces a 360 degree inflation area.
Omniform™ technology is designed to minimize the potential
for leaks due to unwanted creases or folds (crease-fold
failure). At the same time, the 360 degree inflation
area evenly distributes pressure for complete
coverage
of stomach anatomy. The LAP-BAND AP® System
also has the highest available fill volume so your surgeon
has the flexibility to offer more precise adjustments.
The LAP-BAND AP® System was designed to extend the
proven performance of the LAP-BAND® System.
