Trans Abdominal Gastric Surgical System
- Patented and revolutionary gastric access system
- Placed inside out like a pull-type PEG tube
- For the treatment of multiple intragastric, abdominal, and pelvic diseases
- Only 12mm in diameter, providing a minimally invasive, fast, and effective closure of incisions
- Easier, safer, and more cost-effective technique than any other currently available methods
- Insufflation port allows for use of CO2
- Soft dilator tip for easy placement
Why TAGSS®?
Endoscopes are limited therapeutically by channel size
Endoscopy alone does not allow for triangulation for more effective site-specific surgery
Laparoscopy requires multiple incisions, general anesthesia, operative suite, longer recovery, more complication risk, and increased costs vs TAGSS procedures
TAGSS allows use of all standard laparoscopic instruments
TAGSS has simple placement (like a PEG tube) and safe closure
TAGSS works in the relatively sterile gastric milieu (due to gastric acid)
