New Data on the MUSE System to Be Presented During Digestive Disease Week(TM) (DDW) 2017
OMER, ISRAEL--(Marketwired - May 4, 2017) - Medigus Ltd. ( NASDAQ : MDGS ) ( TASE : MDGS ), a medical device company developing minimally invasive endosurgical tools and a leader in direct visualization technology, today announced that three poster presentations featuring new data on the MUSE™ System will be presented at the upcoming Digestive Disease Week® (DDW), being held in Chicago from May 6-9, 2017.
"We are pleased to have new clinical findings to share at DDW this year, including the interim results from a multi-center trial," said Chris Rowland, Chief Executive Officer of Medigus. "The data focuses on the outcomes of using MUSE, a minimally invasive solution for GERD. Our system can help reduce the unmet treatment need for patients who fall within the gap between drug therapy and invasive surgical procedures."
The MUSE system is a single-use flexible transoral stapler that merges the latest advancements in microvisual, ultrasonic and surgical stapling. The device comes equipped with an ultrasonic sight and range finder and a micro ScoutCam™ CMOS camera, which enables a single physician to perform an incisionless transoral fundoplication -- the procedure intended to treat the anatomical cause of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
