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.

Like Never Before
Improve quality, cut costs and do your GI service
documentation much more easily with the new Olympus
UNIFIA System. UNIFIA tracks your procedure time by doctor
and supplies you with operational metrics. It alerts staff when
the procedure is done and the room needs to be turned over.
Then it tracks every detail of how every flexible scope was
reprocessed and stored, driving repeatable and compliant
reprocessing. It also logs your MRC testing results. You'll be
able to identify improvement opportunities, right-size staffing
and more.
