EndoBarrier (also known as Duodenal-Jejunal Bypass Liner (DJBL) or RESET®) is a 60cm tube-like liner made from a thin, flexible and durable impermeable polymer. It is inserted by an endoscopy procedure under general anaesthetic or heavy sedation and does not involve any surgery. The EndoBarrier device is anchored in place, just beyond the stomach, by a basket of very thin wire made of Nitinol - an alloy of nickel and titanium. The EndoBarrier prevents food that passes through it (on its way along the intestine and out of the body in the stool) from contacting the first two feet of small bowel intestine.
