EndoFLIP® is a new innovative tool that brings a new dimension to GERD diagnosis and surgery.
The components of the imaging tool enable precise measurement of the distensibility and functional diameter of the top of the stomach.

Benefits of EndoFLIP® in the diagnosis of GERD

• EndoFLIP® is the first tool to measure the mechanical properties of the lower esophageal sphincter
• Key tool for understanding why a patient has GERD, rather than the extent that they have it.
• It provides real time dynamic imaging of the lower esophageal sphincter
• The test is very quick and takes only 5 – 10 minutes.
• Cost-effective
• Assists doctors in the decision making process. It helps them to make a more objective decision to guide GERD therapy and whether a patient is the correct patient for GERD surgery.

Benefits of EndoFLIP® during GERD Surgery

• Many patients have difficulty in swallowing after GERD surgery due to overtightening of the gastrosesophageal junction (sphincter region). The EndoFLIP® system assists surgeons in the assessment of the degree of surgical tightening during surgery.
• Data is recorded allowing doctors to assess the 'Before' and 'After' results of the surgery.
• The recorded data is a permanent record that surgery took place.
  

Benefits of EndoFLIP® for Bariatric Surgery

• EndoFLIP® allows more precise adjustments of gastric bands by allowing direct measurement and characterization of stoma diameter for different band fill volumes.
• EndoFLIP® assists in taking measurements and documenting the need for revision surgery.
• Printout of pouch volume and stoma size may be stored in patient files for referral in cases of weight regain.
