About the Stretta Procedure
Stretta Therapy is a minimally invasive, endoscopic procedure that significantly reduces GERD symptoms, allowing a majority of patients to eliminate or significantly decrease use of PPIs. In an outpatient setting, Stretta is per­formed in less than 45 minutes, allowing patients to return to normal activities the fol­lowing day.

Boasting not only exceptional patient satisfaction, Stretta is the only widely studied minimally invasive treatment option for GERD – and has been proven safe and effective in more than 40 clinical studies and 35,000+ procedures. Durability studies indicate that many patients experience significant and lasting symptom relief for up to 15 years or beyond.  Restech acquired the Stretta procedure as part of its asset acquisition of Mederi Therapeutics in 2018.
