Several European and U.S. gastroenterologists have performed procedures using Medigus' Ultrasonic Surigcal Endostapler. Medigus is an Omer, Israel-based medical device company.
Here are five observations:
1. Globally, surgeons have performed more than 200 procedures with MUSE.
2. MUSE offers microvisual, ultrasonic and surgical stapling.
3. A surgeon may perform fundoplication transorally with MUSE.
4. Since the device requires no incisions, patients often note more comfort during the procedure and don't stay in the hospital as long.
5. "MUSE was designed to offer physicians and patients an advanced, competitive product for the treatment of GERD, and we thank these esteemed physicians for their continued support and ongoing advocacy to help drive its clinical adoption by educating their peers on its availability," said Chris Rowland, CEO, Medigus.
