Allurion Technologies has entered into a strategic distribution partnership with ProSurg Medical, a Brazilian distributor that has served the bariatric and obesity care market for 30 years and operates a network of more than 300 hospitals and multidisciplinary teams, including dietitians, bariatric surgeons and endoscopic specialists. The agreement will allow Allurion to introduce its swallowable Smart Capsule and accompanying virtual care suite to the Brazilian market, leveraging ProSurg’s established relationships to accelerate market penetration.
Allurion’s Smart Capsule is an investigational, swallowable balloon that delivers a low‑dose GLP‑1 combination therapy while patients receive continuous virtual coaching. The product is still in the U.S. pre‑approval phase, but the company is actively pursuing regulatory clearance in other markets, including Brazil, where obesity prevalence is high and demand for non‑invasive weight‑loss solutions is growing.
Allurion’s Q3 2025 financial results highlight the urgency of the partnership. Revenue fell 50 % year‑over‑year to $2.7 million, and the company posted a net loss of $11.88 million. The decline reflects a combination of lower product sales, higher operating expenses, and the impact of restructuring costs as the company realigns its commercial strategy.
The Brazil partnership is positioned to offset these headwinds by opening a new revenue stream in a large, underserved market. Brazil’s obesity rate exceeds 20 % of the adult population, and the country’s healthcare system is increasingly receptive to technology‑enabled interventions. By combining Allurion’s product with ProSurg’s distribution network, the company can reach a broad patient base and generate incremental sales that may help stabilize its financial trajectory.
Dr. Shantanu Gaur, Allurion’s founder and CEO, said the agreement “reflects our commitment to find partners globally who believe in our approach to obesity care.” Deluz Masselli, CEO of ProSurg Medical, added that “ProSurg is proud to partner with Allurion, sharing our vision of comprehensive care for patients struggling with chronic diseases like obesity.”
Investors have reacted cautiously to Allurion’s recent financial performance, noting the significant revenue decline and net loss. The partnership announcement is viewed as a strategic step to broaden the company’s commercial footprint and potentially improve long‑term revenue prospects, though the immediate impact on earnings remains uncertain.
