Procedure
Designed to help physicians reconstruct the gastroesophageal valve (GEV) and restore its function as a reflux barrier, the EsophyX Z+ device is used during the TIF 2.0 procedure to create up to a 3 cm, 270° esophagogastric fundoplication, depending on the patient’s anatomy.
Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (the TIF 2.0 procedure) uses an endoscopic approach to restore anatomy and reconstruct the gastroesophageal valve (GEV) following the principles of traditional fundoplication with minimal side-effects.*
Endoscope is retroflexed and device is positioned at the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) to rebuild the valve.
A full thickness tissue fold at the GEJ is retracted, wrapped and secured using SerosaFuse implantable fasteners (equivalent to 3-0 sutures) to create an esophagogastric plication.
TIF 2.0 reconstructs the primary components of the anti-reflux barrier, creating up to a 3 cm GE flap valve and a 270° wrap, depending on the patient’s anatomy.
