EndoGastric Solutions’ EsophyX Device Nabs FDA Clearance

The FDA has granted 510(k) clearance to EndoGastric Solutions’ EsophyX Z device, which now will require fewer steps for restructuring the gastroesophageal valve to prevent gastroesophageal reflux disease.

The device is designed to restore the gastroesophageal barrier’s function during transoral incision-less fundoplication procedures.

The original model was cleared in 2007 and the third model was launched in 2015. — Anisa Jibrell
