Comunicato Precedente
Comunicato Successivo
Dr. med. Jörg Zehetner, a leading anti-reflux surgeon from Switzerland with about 150 RefluxStop procedures completed, led this training. He says, "I was honored to lead the RefluxStop training in Spain where I have visited and proctored most of the RefluxStop Surgeons over the past 1.5 years. The atmosphere in this meeting was phenomenal as the Spanish surgeons discussed the promising outcomes of RefluxStop experienced in their own practice. Since RefluxStop does not encircle the food passageway, the benefits of anti-reflux surgery now seriously need to be considered for many more patients who urgently deserve to get their quality of life back with an effective treatment."
Dr. Peter Forsell, Implantica founder and CEO, says, "As a surgeon myself, I greatly value peer-to-peer support when adopting a new technology like RefluxStop™. In Spain, it's estimated that GERD impacts 15% of the adult population with 69% of these patients taking medical treatment, even though medication is ineffective for at least one-third of patients.1" Dr. Forsell continues, "We are incredibly proud to see the rapid uptake of the RefluxStop™ procedure in Spain and gain tremendous support from the Spanish GERD scientific community. Their results-driven enthusiastic embrace of RefluxStop™ truly signifies the significant potential of RefluxStopTM to become the new standard of surgical care for GERD in Spain and beyond in the years to come."

About RefluxStop™
RefluxStop™™ is a new innovative treatment that has the potential to spur a paradigm shift in anti-reflux surgery. It's unique mechanism of action differentiates it from standard of care and current surgical solutions. Longer established surgical options for GORD involve encircling the food passageway to support the lower oesophageal sphincter's closing mechanism and are commonly associated with side effects such as swallowing difficulties, pain when swallowing and inability to belch and/or vomit.
In contrast, the RefluxStop™™ device treats the cause of acid reflux without encircling and putting pressure on the food passageway. It restores and maintains the lower oesophageal sphincter in its original, natural position.
The RefluxStop™™ mechanism of action is focused on reconstructing all three components of the anti-reflux barrier, that if compromised could possibly result in acid reflux. It restores and supports the natural anatomical physiology of the body allowing the body to itself solve the problem with acid reflux.
