Value Proposition
· Increased area of surgical closure
· Reduced technical difficulty
· Reduced bleeding risk
Unmet Need
· Millions of people get endoscopic GI tract procedures each year, with many requiring removal of colonic polyps. The closure of the wounds post-resection can be technically challenging and closure rates are not optimal. Current technology is limited in the size of the mucosal defects they can effectively close. Thus, there exists a strong need for a more effective and efficient method to endoscopically close wounds after colonic polyp resection.
Technology Description
· This technology enables the operating physician to rapidly place hemostatic closure devices around a whole resection periphery. This effectively allows for a “Z” shaped closure with both sides of defect overlaying each other.
Stage of Development
· Preliminary ideation
