Medina Healthcare is proud to have supported Malta’s first MOVIVA procedure at St James Hospital, Sliema, performed by Dr Formiga, Director at C.I.B.O. Milano – Centro Interdisciplinare Bariatria & Obesità.
MOVIVA® is an innovative, minimally invasive endoscopic solution for gastric mucosal ablation (GMA) in the fundus. It reduces the patient’s hunger feeling and, when combined with Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), GMA can yield weight loss results comparable to traditional bariatric surgery
ERBE’s VIO 3 electrosurgical system supported the clinical team throughout the procedure, demonstrating the role of advanced technology in delivering specialist care.
The two-day programme brought together clinical expertise, technology and close collaboration. Our thanks go to:
• Dr Formiga and the clinical team at St James Hospital.
• Ines Weber, ERBE’s Global Clinical Application Specialist, for her expertise and hands-on guidance.
• Oliver Kollenberg, ERBE’s Business Manager CEE, for his support and collaboration.
At Medina Healthcare, we remain committed to connecting Malta’s healthcare professionals with innovative medical technologies, specialist training and trusted international partners.
