IntraObes

What IntraObes does

IntraObes is a privately held Spanish healthcare clinic specializing in bariatric and metabolic surgery, founded in 2004 by Dr. Miguel Ángel Escartí Usó. The clinic provides surgical and non-surgical weight loss treatments to patients with severe obesity and type 2 diabetes, including gastric bypass (bypass gástrico), gastric sleeve (manga gástrica), revisional bariatric surgery, gastric plication, endoscopic procedures (POSE/Endomanga Apollo), and gastric balloons (endoscopic and ingestible Elipse). IntraObes operates across four locations in Spain (Valencia, Madrid, Murcia, Alicante) and performs surgeries at affiliated hospitals within the HLA group (HLA-Moncloa, HLA-La Vega, HLA-Vistahermosa).

The clinic's underlying technology stack centers on minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical techniques, including the Da Vinci robotic system and complementary platforms from Medtronics (Hugo) and CMR Surgical (Versius). The operating model combines bariatric surgeons with a multidisciplinary support team of nutritionists, psychologists, and sports medicine professionals to deliver end-to-end pre-operative, surgical, and post-operative care. Cumulative outcomes include 3,000+ bariatric surgeries and 4,000+ total bariatric treatments over 20 years, with 1,000+ single anastomosis bypass procedures, 1,000+ gastric balloon procedures, and 150+ type 2 diabetes-specific surgeries performed.

IntraObes generates revenue primarily through one-time payments for surgical and endoscopic procedures, with all-inclusive pricing tiers ranging from €3,990 (ingestible balloon) to €19,500 (Da Vinci robotic surgery), plus €1,000 surcharges for BMI>50 cases. Bundled packages include preoperative testing, €15,000 complication insurance, nutritional follow-up, psychological support, and periodic surgeon reviews. The go-to-market is sales-led via direct consultations (Dr. Escartí personally conducts initial assessments), supplemented by referrals, word-of-mouth, SEO-optimized website content, social media presence (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), and patient testimonials. Pricing varies by location, with Madrid commanding a premium over Valencia/Alicante and Murcia.

Others

• Apollo Endosurgery: Developer of the Apollo Endoscopic Suturing System and Orbera gastric balloon used in IntraObes' POSE/Endomanga and balloon procedures — adjacent as a technology/enabling supplier to IntraObes' endoscopic offerings.
• Intuitive Surgical (Da Vinci): Manufacturer of the Da Vinci robotic surgery platform used by IntraObes; adjacent as an enabling technology provider rather than a direct competitor, but shapes the robotic bariatric economics.
• Medtronic (Hugo RAS System): Manufacturer of the Hugo robotic-assisted surgery system also offered by IntraObes; relevant as a strategic supplier whose commercial terms directly affect IntraObes' robotic procedure margins.

Regional players

• Centro de Excelencia en Cirugía Bariátrica (COE Bariátrica): Spanish-focused bariatric surgery center of excellence offering gastric bypass, sleeve and revisional procedures; comparable portfolio and patient profile to IntraObes within the Spanish market.
• Centro Bariátrico ABC (Mexico): Latin American bariatric clinic offering similar gastric bypass and sleeve procedures; relevant given the medical-tourism overlap and shared Spanish-language patient base that IntraObes could potentially address.

Broad incumbents

• HM Hospitales (Obesity/Bariatric Unit): Multi-site Spanish private hospital network with bariatric surgery offerings; relevant because it competes in Madrid and other Spanish cities where IntraObes operates, but as part of a much wider service portfolio.
• Hospital Quirónsalud (Bariatric Unit): Large Spanish private hospital group operating multi-specialty bariatric surgery units; competes for the same patient pool as IntraObes but from a broad-incumbent position with deeper insurance contracts and capital.
• Vithas Hospitals (Bariatric Surgery): National Spanish private hospital group offering bariatric and metabolic surgery alongside general services — comparable in procedure mix to IntraObes but with broader geographic and clinical footprint.

Direct peers

• Instituto Médico Europeo de la Obesidad (IMEO): Madrid-based obesity treatment center performing bariatric and metabolic surgeries with nutritional and psychological support — operates in the same Spain geography with a comparable integrated-care value proposition.
• Clínica Obésitas: Spanish bariatric surgery clinic offering a similar portfolio of bypass, sleeve, gastric balloon and revision procedures with a multidisciplinary team model — directly comparable service mix to IntraObes within the same Spanish market.
