(ENDOLUMENAL FUNCTIONAL
LUMEN IMAGING PROBE)
The EndoFLIP® (Endolumenal Functional Lumen Imaging Probe) Imaging System is a revolutionary new technology used to measure the dimensions and function of a variety of hollow organs and sphincteric regions throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a disease that manifests itself as severe
heartburn caused by acid refluxing up into the esophagus from the stomach or the
