A Non-Invasive Tool Supporting Satiety Perception in Clinical Practice

GASTER control® is a non-invasive medical device designed to support the perception of satiety signals through controlled external abdominal compression.

It is intended to be integrated within structured care pathways for overweight and obesity management.

 

Clinical Rationale

Addressing Altered Satiety Perception

In some patients, the perception of physiological satiety signals may be altered, contributing to:

  • difficulty regulating food intake
  • delayed satiety perception
  • challenges in maintaining long-term weight stability

Satiety relies on:

  • mechanical signals (gastric distension)
  • neuro-hormonal regulation

GASTER control® acts on the mechanical component, aiming to modulate the conditions under which satiety is perceived.

 

Mechanism of Action

External Mechanical Modulation

The device applies controlled, adjustable compression to the epigastric region.

This approach aims to:

  • influence the perception of gastric volume
  • facilitate earlier integration of satiety signals
  • support the regulation of food intake

It does not induce satiety directly,
but modifies the conditions of its perception.

 

Clinical Use

Integration into Patient Care

GASTER control® may be used in various clinical contexts:

  • Pre-operative support in bariatric pathways
  • Post-operative management of weight regain
  • Support during or after GLP-1–based treatments
  • Selected first-line situations requiring non-invasive approaches

It is intended as a complementary tool, not a replacement for existing therapies.

 

Practical Use

Integration into Eating Behavior

The device can be used at different stages of the meal:

  • Pre-meal: preparation of mechanical conditions
  • During meals: reinforcement of distension-related signals
  • Post-meal: maintenance of satiety perception

This supports integration into real-life eating behavior.

 

Clinical Insights

Exploratory Data

Preliminary real-world observations show:

  • reduction in portion size
  • earlier perception of satiety
  • improvement in eating behaviors
  • progressive weight reduction observed in many users
  • good tolerance and acceptability

These findings are exploratory and currently under further clinical evaluation.

 

Safety & Tolerability

GASTER control® is:

  • non-invasive
  • externally applied
  • adjustable by the patient
  • well tolerated in initial studies

No serious adverse events have been reported in exploratory use.

 

Positioning in Care Pathways

GASTER control® is designed to:

  • support regulation of food intake
  • assist behavioral strategies
  • provide a non-pharmacological option
  • complement medical and surgical approaches

 

Clinical Development

A structured clinical development program is ongoing, including:

  • observational studies
  • real-world data collection
  • preparation of controlled clinical trials
  • multicentric evaluation

 

For Prescribers

GASTER control® is intended for use within:

  • medically supervised programs
  • multidisciplinary care settings
  • nutritional and behavioral follow-up
