WORLD’S FIRST DUODENAL MEDICAL DEVICE DESIGNED TO TARGET OBESITY AND THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF TYPE 2 DIABETES

Change Starts Within

Since Morphic’s founding in 2003, our mission has been to alleviate the symptoms of obesity for patients fighting cardiometabolic disease in our current global epidemic.
Our technology, RESET ® therapy, is a testament to Morphic’s mission. The first endoscopically delivered duodenal device therapy for the treatment of obesity. The RESET® therapy is a new treatment option to support the fight against obesity for people with at least one cardiometabolic risk factor, primarily type 2 diabetes or dyslipidemia. RESET® is a minimally invasive and temporary device which covers an unmet medical need for patients not ready to undergo permanent bariatric surgery but in need of a bariatric intervention.

Morphic is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with an international office in Berlin, Germany. Our team of business experts and industry veterans have a successful track record of pioneering and commercializing breakthrough healthcare technologies.
