Medigus launches device to treat acid reflux without surgery

By Tova Cohen TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Israeli medical device maker Medigus expects revenue of a few million dollars in 2014 as it begins to sell its flexible endoscope for the treatment of acid reflux. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is caused by abnormal regurgitation of fluids from the stomach into the esophagus. Patients who do not respond to treatment with drugs often undergo laparoscopic surgery. In the medical device world you need to get ... innovators to try the product," Chris Rowland, an American who took over as chief executive of Medigus in October, told Reuters on Tuesday.
