About Us
Satiety, Inc. is a medical device company focused on the development of less invasive devices for the treatment of obesity. Obesity is a global health problem, affecting 70 million people in the U.S. and 300 million worldwide, and growth of which is causing increases in obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. Obesity surgery has been shown to be the only long-term effective means of weight loss for morbidly obese patients.
Satiety’s first product, the TOGA® System, enables physicians to perform a procedure similar to traditional restrictive obesity surgeries, but without surgical incisions. In this procedure, the TOGA System devices are inserted transorally (through the mouth) and are used to reduce the capacity of the stomach to give patients a feeling of fullness after a small meal. The procedure is intended to be safer and easier for patients to tolerate than conventional obesity surgery.**
Satiety, Inc. was founded in 2000 through a collaboration of medical device incubators Thomas Fogarty Engineering and The Foundry, and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.
** The TOGA System has been granted CE Mark but is not yet available for sale.
