About Fractyl

Fractyl's mission is to set people free from the daily burdens of type 2 diabetes management, empower physicians with a safe and reliable therapeutic treatment option, and lower the tremendous human and financial costs of diabetic complications for patients, hospitals, and payers. New scientific insights highlight the role of intestinal hormones in contributing to insulin resistance. Fractyl has developed a device-based procedure to directly address this intestinal hormonal impairment with a same-day therapy. Fractyl is currently engaged in clinical trials designed to demonstrate that its procedure can dramatically improve glucose control and reduce the need for additional medications.
