Technology Overview
Johns Hopkins researchers developed devices and methods to administer treatments to the distal esophagus (for disorders such as esophageal cancer, dysplasia, achalasia and others) in an easy, patient-directed, point of care fashion.

Stage of Development
Preliminary data available.
