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.
