CEO, Robert L. Cucin is interviewed by Michael Yorba on the I Heart Radio’s “Traders Network Show” on April 11, 2015.
Dr. Cucin discusses the rationale and potential of the endoscopic visceral lipectomy methods and devices the company is developing for the treatment of obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
BioSculpture Technology’s patented technology now makes it possible to safely and efficiently remove visceral or “belly” fat inside the abdomen for the first time. This method has the potential of becoming a safer and highly effective alternative to current bariatric surgical treatments of obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

2/3 of affluent populations are overweight and 1/3 are frankly obese. 43% of Developed World is forecast to be obese in 10 years. Obesity related chronic diseases account for 75% of overall healthcare spending. Those diseases include type 2 Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart disease, gastric reflux, sleep apnea, autoimmune diseases and cancer. Those diseases don’t just shorten lives, they reduce the quality of life.
80% of Type II Diabetics are obese. 1 out of 5 healthcare dollars is spent on Diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is the most frequent cause of kidney failure requiring dialysis and a frequent cause of blindness.
Already embarked on the goal of developing alternative bariatric treatments of obesity, metabolic syndrome and type II Diabetes mellitus, BioSculpture Technology has had three U.S. Patents allowed and has numerous U.S. and foreign Applications pending in this area.
