And GASTEIZ, we continue to bet on innovation in digestive diagnostics and, since February 2025, we have had Bravo™ Capsule, an advanced, precise, and comfortable technique for the study of Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).
Why is it important to diagnose reflux promptly?
Although reflux often manifests as heartburn or acid regurgitation, it can also cause less obvious symptoms, such as:
- Tos can help.
- Sensation of a foreign body in the throat.
- Difficulty swallowing.
- Nocturnal awakenings with a feeling of suffocation.
An early diagnosis is key to avoiding more serious complications, such as persistent inflammation of the oesophagus or the risk of developing oesophageal cancer.
What are the advantages of this diagnostic technique?
This innovative technology allows us to carry out a much more precise study without the discomfort of traditional methods.
Minimally invasive and comfortable
It is placed using a simple endoscopic procedure, normally with light sedation. The capsule adheres to the wall of the oesophagus and continuously measures acidity (pH) during up to 96 hours. When you're finished, it comes away naturally, without the need to remove it.
More accurate results
Thanks to your prolonged analysis, we can detect reflux episodes that might go unnoticed in shorter studies.
Total freedom for the patient
During those days, the patient can continue with their routine without annoying cables or external devices, simply wearing a small receiver that discreetly collects information from the capsule.
Greater confidence in the treatment
With the data obtained, we can design an individualised treatment plan, based on detailed and accurate information, allowing for faster and more effective improvements.
