The Spatz3 adjustable gastric balloon provides an effective, reversible and less costly alternative to weight loss surgery for individuals who are overweight or obese. This is especially significant due to the high rates of obesity in <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span>. A recent <a href=\"http:\/\/ensanut.insp.mx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">national health survey<\/a> found that 56% of the population of <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico City<\/span> is overweight or clinically obese.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Abraham Renner<\/span> of Biomedics, Spatz partner in <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico City<\/span>, reported, &#8220;Up to now, most of the market has been private. However, we see a lot of potential in the public health system, since <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span> has one of the highest obesity rates in the world. In addition, with experienced bariatric physicians working in <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span>, US citizens can take advantage of the warm attention and affordable services offered by bariatric centers along <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico&#8217;s<\/span> border with <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Arizona<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Jeffrey Brooks<\/span>, Founder and CEO of Spatz FGIA, Inc. spoke about features that set the Spatz3 balloon apart from its competitors. &#8220;We have been quite encouraged by the rapid growth of our market share in <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span> in a relatively short span of time. Both doctors and patients alike appreciate the extra functions afforded by the Spatz3 adjustable balloon. As shown in the recently completed FDA trials, there was a 22% rate of early balloon extraction with the competing Orbera balloon, due to intolerance. The Spatz3 balloon offers the ability to change balloon volume to alleviate intolerance, thereby avoiding the necessity for early extraction. Furthermore, a second wave of weight loss, after midterm balloon volume expansion, is unique to the Spatz3 balloon.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><b>About Your Company: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spatzmedical.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Spatz FGIA, Inc.<\/a> is a medical device company that created the next generation gastric balloon for the worldwide obesity epidemic.
