What is GERD?
GERD is “a condition which develops when the reflux of stomach contents causes troublesome symptoms and/or complications”. Symptoms are “troublesome” if they adversely affect an individual’s wellbeing.

How many people are affected by GERD?

Population-based studies suggest that GERD is a common condition with a prevalence of 10-20% in Western Europe and North America1. The prevalence rates in South America are similar to European countries and in Asia, the prevalence has been variably reported but is generally lower.

Vysera’s Solution
Vysera’s GERD device provides a unique approach to the problem of chronic GERD; by deploying a device at the area of the malfunctioning LES via a minimally invasive procedure. This procedure is low-risk, reversible and does not permanently alter a patient’s anatomy. The Vysera device is manufactured from Vysera’s unique technology and when placed in the oesophagus, mimics the functionality of a normal sphincter, thereby restoring control of the reflux of stomach contents.
