Stretta Radiofrequency GERD Therapy System Going Live in US

April 14th, 2010 Medgadget Editors GI, Surgery


Mederi Therapeutics of Greenwich, Connecticut is rolling out in the US its Stretta therapy system for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The system utilizes a radiofrequency catheter to deliver energy to the lower esophageal sphincter, muscle, and gastric cardia. As the body heals the thermal lesions, the anatomy of the region comes back firmer and more resistant to reflux.

Stretta Control Module

  • Four channel RF energy generator
  • C onstant monitoring of temperature and impedance enables precise energy delivery
  • Interactive graphics screen displays real-time progress to allow careful control of the procedure
  • Computer algorithm controls the delivery of energy to achieve target tissue temperature
  • Stretta Catheter

  • The flexible catheter tip guides the catheter to the gastroesophageal junction
  • Balloon supports precise delivery of submucosal needles
  • Ergonomic catheter handle provides optimal operator control
  • Thermocouples enable constant monitoring of the tissue and mucosal surface temperature
  • Integrated ports deliver chilled water to mucosa while deeper tissue is treated
