ENDOSCOPIC METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GASTROINTESTINAL RESHAPING AND RESURFACING

Abstract

Non-resective endoscopic systems and methods for reshaping gastrointestinal organs to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), obesity, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and perforations. The non-resective endoscopic systems and methods provide improved tissue capture capacity to create pressure necrosis to target tissue areas. The non-resective endoscopic systems and methods include banding target tissue areas utilizing a ligation band. The ligation band creates a uniform distribution of pressure to improve tissue retention and pressure necrosis for eliciting a healing response.
