This highly esteemed conference is the biggest meeting in the world dedicated specifically to gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgery. Some 2,500 SAGES members, representing the world-leading experts in gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgery, attended the SAGES Annual Meeting in Cleveland, Ohio on April 17-20.

It's a credit to the ongoing enthusiasm for RefluxStop™ to see the latest clinical data from five world-renowned European centers of excellence in the treatment of acid reflux diseases, presented at SAGES. The Centers of Excellence included the following:

• Krankenhaus Nordwest GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany
  Presenting author: Dr. Moustafa Elshafei
• Hirslanden Beau-Site Hospital, Bern, Switzerland
  Presenting author: Dr. Joerg Zehetner
• Inselspital, University Hospital, Bern, Switzerland
  Presenting author: Dr. Yves Borbély

Dr. Peter Forsell, CEO of Implantica says, "The excellent real-world outcomes from a dataset that is four times bigger than the size of the CE study conducted more than five years ago is a strong validation of the consistent and sustained outcomes of the RefluxStop therapy. This research further establishes RefluxStop™ as an exceptional surgical treatment for GERD, setting the stage for strong future growth in US once we get market approval."

Dr. Forsell goes on to say, "There has been an immense interest and support in RefluxStop™ therapy from the US surgeons and scientific experts. Looking to the US market where 20% of the adult population suffers from GERD¹, we see a massive opportunity for the innovative RefluxStop™ procedure to transform patients' quality of life, pending FDA approval."

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 GERD involve encircling the food passageway to support the lower esophageal 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 esophageal 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.
