EsophyX^® Device

EsophyX Device: Innovative Technology Making Transoral Reconstructive Surgery Possible

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.

• Helical Retractor
  • Engages and retracts tissue
  • Anchors gastroesophageal junction during fundoplication
  • Stows/locks safely inside tissue mold during insertion and removal
• Tissue Mold and Chassis
  • Plicates and compresses tissue
  • Rotates fundus around esophagus to create partial wrap
• Invaginator
  • Suctions tissue circumferentially
  • Reduces small hiatal hernia
  • Facilitates proper position of fundoplication caudal to diaphragm
• Stylets and SerosaFuse® Fasteners
  • Transect apposed tissues
  • Fasteners maintain tissue compression throughout healing process

There are two models of EsophyX devices — EsophyX₂ HD and EsophyX Z — that offer full compatibility with standard, HD and low profile endoscope models from all major suppliers.
