Visit their website >The ASCENDO™ Submucosal Lifting Agent is intended for use in gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. Submucosal lifting agents are used for the endoscopic lift of polyps, adenomas, early-stage cancers, or other gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal lesions before excision with a snare or endoscopic device.
HOW THE ASCENDO LIFTING AGENT WORKS
The effective removal of lesions during an endoscopic resection can be challenging and time-consuming. An injection needle delivers an endoscopic lifting agent or EMR lifting solution advanced through the endoscope's working channel. It helps to differentiate the muscle layer and submucosa, reducing the risk of perforation when endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is performed. Additionally, the blue coloring customary to EMR lifting solutions allows for delineation of the lesion margin compared to healthy tissue, thus supporting complete resection. Using a submucosal lifting agent can save physicians time by supporting quick localization of the separation of the polyp from the muscle wall as well as reducing risks like perforation.
The ASCENDO Submucosal Lifting Agent is designed to provide a submucosal cushion of height and duration, allowing the endoscopist a safe resection procedure. The submucosal lifting agent acts as a colored translucent solution to help clarify the area where it is injected. This helps to assist the endoscopist in visualizing the margins of the target lesion and performing the resection procedure, thereby decreasing the risk of damaging the external muscular layer, which could lead to perforation. The EMR lifting solution is injected into the submucosa beneath the lesion to be excised.
The ASCENDO Submucosal Lifting Agent is a solution used for the endoscopic lift of polyps, adenomas, early-stage cancers, or other gastrointestinal mucosal lesions before excision with a snare or endoscopic device in GI endoscopic procedures. It consists of sodium hyaluronate, Methylene Blue, and normal saline and is supplied in a ready-to-use, prefilled syringe containing 5 ml or 10 ml of the agent.
The COINTIP™ Snare is a hot and cold snare featuring a dynamic braided wire configuration with a coined distal tip, double catheter with internal strain relief, and three distinct shapes. The snare provides deliberate and thorough cutting capabilities specifically for complex polypectomy procedures like endoscopic mucosal resections (EMR).
The Endoscopic Marker is indicated for endoscopically marking lesions in the GI tract when the endoscopist anticipates the lesion will require surgical removal within 30 days.
How the Endoscopic Marker Works
An endoscopic marker provides a method of marking target tissue and lesions on the wall of a patient’s stomach or colon during an endoscopic procedure. The mark provides a reference point for subsequent removal of the tissue. Using an endoscopic marker for endoscopic tattooing supports quick localization of target lesions and the correct spot is evaluated.
A GI marker or endoscopic tattoo agent is delivered by an injection needle advanced through the working channel of an endoscope. Endoscopic tattooing is indicated to facilitate localization of luminal abnormality at the time of surgery or repeat endoscopic examination.1 This is typically applied near large or advanced lesions during polypectomies.
The Endoscopic Marker comes in a 5ml prefilled syringe. In order to use, unfasten the cap. Attach the syringe to the luer fitting on a 23-to-25-gauge injection needle and insert into the biopsy channel of the endoscope. When the needle is properly positioned, insert the tip 30-45 degrees tangentially into the submucosal space of the colon and inject .5 to .75ml of the marker.
Clinically proven to achieve a significantly high rate of complete resection, the Exacto cold snare offers control and placement for a precise, clean cut. The Exacto snare supports the cold snare polypectomy technique and can be used to resect a variety of polyps in multiple sizes (small, diminutive, and large).
How the Exacto Cold Snare Works
As cold snaring becomes the standard for subcentimeter polyps and expands into the removal of larger polyps, the Exacto cold snare is leading the way with clinical data to drive changes in medical practice. The Exacto endoscopic snare has been specifically designed to optimize cold resection with a 9mm snare size. The thin wire design (0.012 inch / 0.30mm) enables a clean cut while maintaining its shape and stiffness.
The Histoguide wire-guided forceps offers safe and effective guidewire placement of biopsy forceps into the biliary ductal system to facilitate stricture diagnosis. Lesions can be sampled via fluoroscopic imaging by utilizing these endoscopy biliary biopsy forceps over a guidewire. The radiopaque design of the Histoguide biopsy forceps allows for maintained visualization during ERCP procedures.
How the Histoguide wire-guided forceps work
The Histoguide wire-guided forceps provide access into the biliary duct. The wire-guide feature allows for effective placement and the serrated jaws help to acquire tissue during procedures.
How the Infinity ERCP sampling device works
The Infinity ERCP sampling device is intended to be used to retrieve cytological cell samples in the gastrointestinal tract. The sampling device features stiffer bristles and softer bristles in one cytology brush to help create a defect in tissue and collect the necessary cells.
The Padlock Clip defect closure system is an endoscopic clip that facilitates full circumferential tissue closure. The over-the-scope Padlock Clip system consists of a pre-loaded, self-grasping hemostatic clip designed to encircle, lift, close, and potentiate the healing of tissue defects.
How the Padlock Clip Defect Closure System Works
The Padlock Clip system is indicated for clip placement within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract for endoscopic marking of lesions, endoscopic clip closure of GI tract luminal perforations <20mm that can be treated conservatively, and endoscopic hemostasis for mucosal/ submucosal defects, bleeding ulcers, arteries <2mm, polyps <1.5cm in diameter, or diverticula in the colon.
