ISRAELI DEVICE TAKES THE HEARTBURN AWAY WITHOUT SURGERY

September 6, 2006

Israeli startup Medigus has developed an endoscopic device to replace the need for surgery for stapling the stomach, which is completely non-invasive while performing the same function as surgery. Its SRS system combines a specialized flexible endoscope, miniaturized video camera, ultrasonic sights for alignment and a surgical stapler. The device already has CE Mark safety certification and can be sold in Europe; however the company is waiting for FDA approval in the US before it begins to market the device.
