EndoGastric Solutions, Inc. products

The EsophyX device is designed to reconstruct the gastroesophageal valve (GEV) and help restore the GEV’s function as a reflux barrier. It is used to perform the TIF® procedure — Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication — by enabling the creation of a 2-3 cm, 270° esophagogastric fundoplication. The device is a fastener delivery system and utilizes proprietary tissue manipulating elements to deploy approximately 20 SerosaFuse fasteners. A flexible video endoscope is inserted into the central lumen of the EsophyX device to provide direct visualization throughout the TIF procedure

SerosaFuse fasteners are made of non-resorbable polypropylene and have equivalent web strength to a 3-0 suture. The material is durable, non-absorbable, and biocompatible, minimizing local inflammation and allowing natural GI tissue repair. The SerosaFuse fasteners are deployed by the EsophyX devices to facilitate esophagogastric tissue plications and are available in two web lengths to accommodate a range of tissue thickness.

The individual physician experiences presented should not be considered medical advice. Healthcare professionals should be consulted for all risks and benefits of all treatment options. Trained physicians are familiar with patient selection criteria most associated with positive clinical outcomes and can determine whether the TIF procedure is appropriate on a case-by-case basis. While clinical studies support the effectiveness of TIF (Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication) in treating chronic GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), individual results may vary. There are no guarantees of successful outcome. The TIF procedure may not be appropriate for every individual, and it may not be applicable in every clinical situation.
