The gentle solution for heartburn and reflux symptoms without tablets.
EsophyX is a medical device used as part of a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure called Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF). This method is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Aim of the procedure: The EsophyX procedure aims to improve the function of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The LES is a muscular ring at the junction between the esophagus and the stomach, which normally serves to prevent gastric acid from flowing back into the esophagus.
Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF): TIF is a minimally invasive procedure in which the EsophyX device is inserted through the mouth to improve the function of the LES. As part of the procedure, a type of "gastric sleeve" is created.
How does the EsophyX procedure work? The endoscopic procedure reconstructs and strengthens the gastric sleeve without external incisions . The device places special staples at the base of the esophagus to create a "gastric sleeve". Pressure increase: The cuff increases the pressure at the lower end of the esophagus to reduce the reflux of stomach acid.
Advantages of the EsophyX procedure: Minimally invasive: No external incisions, low stress on the body.Fast recovery: Patients can usually return home quickly after the procedure.Lower risk: Compared to conventional surgical methods, the risks are lower.
