Fujifilm | EN-580T Double Balloon Endoscope
Though the Double Balloon system has been
around for a while, Fujifilm debuted a few
new updates to the system's scope to better
accommodate physicians. The system —
which allows doctors to visualize and treat
the small intestine — has a new scope with a
larger 3.2 mm accessory channel to increase
access and improve suction. Additionally, the
system features improved close-focus imag-
ing, thanks to a new high-resolution Super
CCD chip, so doctors can get up-close views
of tissue without image distortion.
ConMed | DuraClip
This clip gives physicians more con-
trol and accuracy when creating
hemostasis in the GI tract. Compared
to some other clips, which can only
be opened and closed up to 5 times,
the DuraClip can be repositioned an
unlimited number of times prior to
deployment, helping docs secure
precise positioning and save time
and money in supplies. The clip also allows for 1-to-1 rotation, which
gives the provider more control over its movement, and a shorter clip
design so physicians can place clips in closer proximity to the
mucosal defect and improve hemostasis.
