据外媒报道,6月14日美国FDA批准一种减肥新机器,可从胃部抽取部分食物,帮助过于肥胖人群减掉超过12%的体重,效果远超药品与节食。
据报道,该减肥机器通过将植入胃部的一条细管,管子连到腹部上的接口,使用者再将接口连结一个外部装置,将刚摄取的部分食物吸出。
制造商Aspire Bariatrics表示,这套系统能在造成体重增加前,移除胃部约30%食物。
美国食品与药品管理局批准这套机器用于身体质量指数(BMI)介于35到55,且未能通过其他方式减肥的肥胖成人身上。
部分原文报道如下:
The Food and Drug Administration approved a new and unusual weight loss device Tuesday: an external pump that dumps part of the stomach contents into the toilet.
Some critics have called it “assisted bulimia” but the device, approved for use in very obese patients, helps them lose on average more than 12 percent of body weight - far more than pills or most diets.
