Recommending the right patients for Enterra® Therapy

Enterra Therapy, the only device designed to reduce nausea and vomiting symptoms associated with gastroparesis, may be appropriate for patients who:

  • Have gastroparesis caused by diabetic or idiopathic origin
  • Have difficulty managing nausea and vomiting symptoms, despite having tried first-line therapies of diet modification and medications
  • Are 18-70 of age

Referring your gastroparesis patients to an implanting physician is a 3-STEP process.

Educate your patients about gastroparesis symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.

If you think your patient may be a candidate for GES, recommend that they consult with a specialist.
