A device for inserting an inflatable intragastric balloon of the type that uses a filament to guide same, comprising:

• a first through channel extending from a proximal end to a distal end of said device, for the insertion of the guiding filament for said device, wherein said distal end having a flexible distal piece through which said first through channel passes;
• an internal compartment arranged adjacent and proximal with respect to said distal end and adjacent to a medial area of the device, an inflatable balloon being housed in said internal compartment, said internal compartment comprising a flexible external membrane surrounding said inflatable balloon;
• and
• a second through channel extending from the proximal end to said internal compartment, said second through channel being connected to the inflatable balloon arranged inside said internal compartment,
• wherein said flexible external membrane is secured to said flexible distal piece and to the medial area of the device, said flexible external membrane having a tear or pre-tear line to facilitate the emergence of the inflatable balloon during its inflation.
