…CONMED Endoscopic Technologies business unit today announced receipt of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance and have begun launch activity for the Axcess(tm) Multidirectional Papillotome, the Gore VIABIL(r) Biliary Endoprosthesis, the Auto-Band Ligator and the Beamer(tm) System and related Beamer(tm) Argon Snare Probe…
A papillotome is an electrosurgical endoscopic wire-guided catheter used in conjunction with a flexible endoscope to diagnose disease, clear obstructions and restore patency in the biliary tract. Axcess(tm) is the first papillotome to offer physicians incremental, multi-directional tip movement to help them achieve the desired angle of approach and maintain tip position, thus reducing procedure time. With its micro-mobility technology, the Axcess(tm) Multi-Directional Papillotome allows the physician greater flexibility and procedural access to the common bile and pancreatic ducts, providing GI Therapeutic Endoscopists an innovative solution to initial cannulation issues encountered during Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography procedures…
When CONMED introduced the Gore VIABIL(r) Biliary Endoprosthesis (covered stent) in 2007, it presented advancements in patency rates, demonstrated minimal migration and unparalleled conformability in tortuous anatomies. This most recent FDA clearance introduces exclusive Pull-Line deployment technology for the VIABIL stent. This groundbreaking delivery system enhances the physician’s control and accuracy in biliary stent placement. CONMED Endoscopic Technologies holds the exclusive distribution rights of the Gore VIABIL(r) Biliary Endoprosthesis in the United States and selected international markets…
The Auto-Band Ligator is used to band esophageal varices (dilated veins that bleed) or hemorrhoids in the colon. In a band ligation procedure, a small band is deployed to the base of the bleeding site or hemorrhoid stopping the blood flow. This ligation procedure is an alternative to invasive surgery to achieve endoscopic hemostasis. The Auto-Band Ligator controls positioning, ensuring only one band is deployed at a time…
This proprietary electrosurgical platform utilizes radio frequency electrical energy to ionize a stream of argon gas, which efficiently and rapidly causes hemostasis and resection of lesions during gastroenterology and bronchoscopy procedures. The CONMED Beamer(tm) System and Beamer(tm) Argon Snare Probes offer ease of use, control, and multiple therapies in one complete system. This new platform includes a snare and an argon probe in one convenient catheter that snares, resects and beams polyps and lesions with just a single probe. Multiple clinical studies have shown an added benefit in preventing lesion recurrence at the procedure site if argon therapy is used. The Beamer(tm) system and Snare Probes could have a significant impact on electrosurgery for GI and Pulmonary Endoscopy for the treatment of bleeding and the resection of lesions…
