Focused magnetic precision for Type 2 diabetes remission and metabolic restoration.
Learn more →The Magnetic Advantage
Minimally invasive. Naturally healing. Profoundly effective.
Magnetic compression anastomosis (MagDI™) uses precision-engineered magnets, FDA-authorized for natural tissue healing — no staples, fewer complications, faster recovery. Early clinical results indicate strong excess weight loss and metabolic improvements with this approach.
- Enhanced metabolic effects beyond restriction alone
- Excellent diabetes remission rates
- Sustained, durable weight loss over years
- Less restriction needed for many patients
- Fewer staples — natural anastomosis healing

Hard Data & Clinical Outcomes
Measurable results that hold up over time.
Type 2 Diabetes Remission Rate
Reported remission across leading metabolic procedures. Based on peer-reviewed studies such as Gagner M, et al. (2023; 2025).
Excess Weight Loss — Durability
Percentage of excess weight loss maintained, Sleeve vs Sleeve Plus™. Early outcomes showed up to 66% EWL in magnetic anastomosis studies.
Based on peer-reviewed studies on magnetic anastomosis (Gagner M, et al., 2023; 2025), OCC clinical experience, and aggregated patient outcomes. Early clinical data (12–18 months follow-up). Results vary.
