November 2, 2020 updated by: USGI Medical
A Post-Market Surveillance Study Examining the Safety & Effectiveness of Using the g-Cath EZ Delivery Catheter With Snowshoe Suture Anchors and Associated Devices (g-Prox EZ, g-Lix and Transport) for the Treatment of Obesity
This is a multi-center, prospective study evaluating a treatment for obesity.

Detailed Description
This is a multi-center, prospective study evaluating a treatment for obesity using the g-Cath EZ and associated devices.
The intent is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a modified Snowshoe suture anchor placement pattern called Pose 2 (suture anchors placed in the mid + distal body of the stomach, with none placed in the fundus) along with a moderate intensity diet and exercise program.
The g-Cath EZ and the associated devices (the g-Prox EZ, g-Lix & Transport) are known collectively as the Incisionless Operating Platform (IOP).
Efficacy of the treatment will be evaluated based on changes in weight loss over 12 months, & adverse events will be recorded throughout the duration of the study.
