ViSiGi® provides faster decompression and more effective delineation than competitive techniques.

Yes, the suction is regulated to 125 mmHg but you must use the selection valve to turn off suction when moving ViSiGi®.

The bulb is a hand pump with an integral pressure gauge used for air leak testing.

Diluted ICG can be administered through ViSiGi® using a Toomey syringe. Reconstitute 2.5mg of ICG per manufacturer instructions in 100 mL of saline.

It is difficult to staple across ViSiGi® because of the large diameter and the thickness of the material. Be conscious of powered staplers that lack tactile feel and have anesthesia move device if there is ever a doubt.

ViSiGi® improves efficiency by reducing the need for multiple passes. You can decompress, size, and leak test with one single device.

The material is designed to be stiff enough that it will bend going down the esophagus, but flexible enough that it will easily mold to the lesser curve.

Yes, most surgeons recommend using a 40 Fr ViSiGi® and creating a loose sleeve around it.

Yes, you can advance ViSiGi® to provide resistance during the gastrostomy and cauterize against the blunt tip.

ViSiGi® for bypass was created because the gastric pouch is shorter than a gastric sleeve. The featured shorter hole pattern aids in sizing and creation of the gastric pouch. It allows for a more concentrated leak test and reduces the risk of applying suction or leak testing to the esophagus.
