LEVITA - Magnetic Surgery System for Minimally Invasive Abdominal Procedures
The Magnetic Surgery System, developed by Levita, offers a revolutionary approach to minimally invasive abdominal surgeries, including gallbladders, prostates, colorectal, and bariatric procedures. Utilizing an external magnet to maneuver an internal magnetic grasper, this technology negates the need for traditional incisions, facilitating less invasive operations. It allows for faster post-operative recovery, reduced pain, and improved cosmetic outcomes by minimizing scarring. Specifically beneficial in bariatrics, the system is designed for patients with a BMI between 20-60 kg/m². Clinical studies indicate a significant decrease in post-operative pain and hospital stay length compared to conventional methods. Despite its innovative features, Magnetic Surgery is not recommended for individuals with electronic implants. The technology continues to evolve with procedures like MagneticSleeve and MagneticSwitch gaining traction, offering patients an efficient surgical alternative.
Magnetic Surgery is a medical technology used in various abdominal surgeries, including gallbladders, prostates, colorectals, and baratrics.
In bariatrics, for example, Magnetic Surgery is a safe and clinically-proven alternative to traditional bariatric surgery.
An external magnet is placed on your skin which controls a magnetic grasper inside your belly during surgery, eliminating a painful abdominal incision and resulting in less-invasive surgery.

Faster Recovery*
Magnetic Surgery patients spend less time in the hospital and return to work within 5 days of surgery on average.¹⁻²
Less Pain*
Patients experience less pain than traditional bariatric surgery patients.¹
Better Cosmetic Results
Look better with fewer incisions and less scarring.
*Based on retrospective, single-center study of 296 patients comparing magnetic liver retraction vs. a conventional liver retractor in bariatric surgery. Patients in the magnetic surgery cohort had significantly decreased 12-hour post-operative pain scores and hospital length of stay.
