Fight Reflux With This Innovative Tool

Give GERD patients the relief they crave with the EsophyX device from EndoGastric Solutions. Using the minimally invasive TIF procedure, your surgeons can target the root cause of GERD: an anatomic defect at the gastroesophageal valve. Surgeons fit EsophyX over a video endoscope. The scope is inserted into a patient's mouth and beyond the esophageal sphincter, where it grabs a fold of the stomach. This creates a tight valve below the diaphragm. When the EsophyX is fired, fasteners anchor the fold. The device then creates a new valve, producing a strong anti-reflux barrier.
