The DV8 is currently in commercial release in the US, Brazil, and is CE marked and available for sale in Europe.

How it Works

After deployment into the esophagus (orally under general anesthesia), inflation of the balloon provides gentle and effective deviation of the esophagus to place it away from other anatomy. When the procedure is completed, the device is deflated and removed.
