Mederi To Launch Improved Stretta RFT3 Technology, Highlight New Data at Digestive Disease Week 2016

          The New Stretta RFT3 is a re-generation of the clinically proven Stretta system. While the procedure remains the same, new aesthetic, functional, and material improvements will further facilitate ease of use and optimal delivery of Stretta treatment for chronic GERD sufferers.

          "We are constantly listening to our worldwide users and utilizing that feedback to make incremental improvements to our system," said Bob Knarr, CEO of Mederi. "The third generation of Stretta offers improved interfaces, and automation of certain features to enhance usability and optimize treatment. The new RFT3 catheters are compatible with the existing MDRF1 Generator, allowing maximum versatility of the updated technology. These enhancements demonstrate Mederi's ongoing commitment to quality products."

          About 30% of adults suffer from chronic GERD. Many of these patients don't completely respond to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), the most common medication for this condition, and many more are concerned about the risks associated with long-term PPI use, or anti-reflux surgery. Stretta provides a non-surgical, middle option for this patient.

          Mederi will introduce and demonstrate the new Stretta RFT3 system in the ASGE Learning Center at DDW. Demonstrations will be held:
