No more reflux, no incisions, no more PPIs!
The TIF® procedure, the only solution that effectively treats reflux without incisions or metal implants.
The FDA is clear on their stance regarding PPIs—the label says:
No more than three 14-day treatment courses should be used in one year.”1
The TIF procedure is minimally invasive and corrects the root cause of reflux – a faulty valve between the esophagus and stomach. If you are taking proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec® and Nexium® to control your symptoms, you now have a safe and effective alternative.
“The TIF procedure for reflux fixes the root cause, providing patients with long-lasting relief. We visit Kenneth Chang, MD a doctor at UC Irvine in Orange County, California, to learn more about the procedure and hear from one of his patients about the reflux and heartburn she felt since childhood and how the TIF® procedure has changed her life for the better.”
Merit Medical defines the term “cTIF” as a consecutive Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication which consists of a Hiatal Hernia Repair (HHR) followed by a Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) procedure under a single anesthesia setting.
