BARIATRIC CLAMP WITH SUTURE PORTIONS, MAGNETIC INSERTS, AND CURVARTURE

A bariatric clamp (100) may include substrate members overmolded in polymer forming first (2902) and second elongated portions (2904) with insert portions, and a bight portion (106} having a flexible hinge (2918) wherein the inserts are engaged via a magnetic force to retain the clamp (100) in a closed position to partition the stomach. In another embodiment, the bariatric clamp may include substrate members overmolded in polymer forming first and second elongated portions and a bight portion having a flexible hinge, wherein the first and second elongated portions are curved to conform lo a curvature of a patient's stomach. In another embodiment, the bariatric clamp may include substrate members overmolded in polymer forming first and second elongated portions each having one or more suture portions formed via one or more recesses formed in the substrate members.
