The EsophyX TIF Procedure

non surgical acid reflux treatmentThe EsophyX® TIF procedure enables the surgeon to simply and safely reconstruct the antireflux barrier, resulting in the effective elimination of GERD. No more pills. No more pain.

No incisions are required and the procedure is performed endoscopically. Patients are able to return to normal activities the day following the procedure.

In early clinical studies, 85% of patients remained off daily PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) and 75% experienced a total elimination of heartburn at one year after the EsophyX TIF procedure.

Step 1: The specially designed EsophyX device enters the esophagus through the mouth and is positioned at the junction of the stomach and esophagus.
Step 2: Hiatal hernia is reduced.
Step 3: The EsophyX device pulls and fastens a tissue fold.
Step 4: Step 3 is repeated multiple times to reconstruct the antireflux barrier with a robust full-thickness valve that restores the competency of the gastroesophageal junction, resulting in the effective elimination of GERD.
