The Barrx™ system is designed to remove the Barrett's epithelium in a short, well-tolerated endoscopic procedure and offers an alternative to "watchful waiting" for patients with intestinal metaplasia, low-grade, and high-grade dysplasia. The Barrx™ 360 express RFA balloon catheter features a self-adjusting ablation balloon that eliminates the sizing process which makes treatments easier and more efficient. The Barrx™ channel RFA endoscopic catheter delivers radiofrequency ablation through the working channel of a flexible endoscope. This application includes an interactive experience that simulates the devices procedures steps, a 3D display of the devices, and useful information for the devices handling and usage.
