At a time when medical imaging technology is rapidly advancing, one of the oldest materials, platinum iridium marker bands, still stands out as the gold standard in medical imaging. While more modern alternatives have been developed over recent years that offer cheaper and lighter solutions, few can match this classic material's reliability and durability. For anyone requiring precise results ...
Other test methods can include: · Endoscopic biopsies (invasive & costly) · Blood test (repeated every 30 minutes) · Stool acidity test (infants, young children) Home breath testing devices Home breath testing devices were more widely optimised due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to prevent waiting list delays and people felt safer taking ...

Medical History Jane is a 40-year-old, married mother of two teenage boys. She teaches at the local elementary school and has been in good health for most of her life. She has no surgical history. Her most severe ailment up to this point has been the flu at age 27. Her students are first-graders; they are often difficult to control. She also experiences the normal stresses of raising ...
If single use devices are inevitable, the next step after “why” needs to be an understanding of “how” medtech companies and device makers can get on the right side of the movement. The move towards single use scopes and other medical devices had its start long before Covid-19, but the pandemic has accelerated this trend across the medical technology field. An emphasis ...
During a prior exam, combination therapy for recurring non-dysplastic BE by Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) was conducted. ...
Patient History This patient was a 68 year old man referred with short segment Barrett's Esophagus (BE) with intramucosal carcinoma (IMC). At the referring center, previous resection of nodularity revealed Tla adenocarcinoma with negative margins. Subsequent surveillance biopsies yielded IMC, and triggered referral. For the procedures described here, standard endoscopy with the addition of ...
Patient History This patient was a 69 year old man with long segment (Prague Criteria C10M10) Barrett's Esophagus (BE) with high grade dysplasia (HCD). Initial endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) specimens were negative for dysplasia. ...
Patient History This patient was originally referred with nodular esophageal disease that was endoscopically visible at the Castro-Esophageal Junction (CEJ). The area was treated using combination Cryotherapy and Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMRJ. ...
Natural orifice trans- luminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is one such alterna- tive. NOTES has potential benefits compared to conventional laparoscopic and open surgery, including reduced abdominal wall trauma and trocar site complica- tions, lower infection rates, less postoperative pain, decreased hospital stays, and excellent cosmetic results. ...
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a highly prevalent disease. It affects about two thirds of adults in the U.S. at some point in their lives and accounts for greater than 4 million physician visits every yearl?. The so-called typical symptoms of GERD consist of heartburn, regurgitation and dysphagia. Cough, wheezing, hoarseness or chest pain may be present and are termed atypical ...
Optics and medical devices have a long history and partnership. Since the invention of the microscope in the late 1500s to mid-1600s, the interest and desire to “see” into the human body to diagnose illness and subsequently repair it has only intensified. Optics in modern medical devices fall into two categories: those used for diagnosis of illness, and those which are therapeutic or ...
Considering Surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a painful or numbing condition that affects the hands and fingers. It’s caused by pressure on one main nerves of the hand, the median nerve. The nerve passes through a narrow passageway in the wrist called the “carpal tunnel” (hence the name of the disorder). The pressure causes the nerve to ...
Gastrostomy tubes, which help patients receive long-term nutritional support, are typically placed endoscopically and need to be replaced every 3-6 months. CoapTech’s PUMA-G System allows initial gastrostomy tube placement by non-surgeons/ gastroenterologists, outside of the endoscopy suite, using point-of-care ultrasound at the patient bedside. ...

Title: A randomised pilot intervention study for the esophageal lesion detection using c-Met targeted fluorsecence endoscopy. Objective: The primary objective of this randomized pilot intervention study is to determine the sensitivity of the fluorescent tracer EMI-137 in identifying (pre)malignant esophageal lesions during surveillance endoscopy. Status: Study completed Results: See published ...
Observational study with retrospective and prospective data collection, for total of 24 months. This is an IBD technology study investigating quantitative metrics for endoscopy, histology and radiology for improved diagnosis and assessment of ...
The British Society of Gastroenterology also recommends that no endoscopic procedures, which are used to screen for bowel/colorectal cancer, can be performed for at least the next 3 months. ...
Mir Hashim, SCO of Rani, says the microinjector technology has been assessed in multiple preclinical studies, with canines and pigs, and three endoscopic studies in the small intestine between the duodenum and ileum. ...
