FDA-clearance for necrosectomy

Cision PR Newswire | December 24, 2020

Current clinical data demonstrates the migration from surgical necrosectomy to DEN. While DEN is a safer approach, it involves the use of conventional instruments such as polypectomy snares and biopsy forceps, which are not specifically indicated or cleared for DEN. Therapeutic use of these devices requires an average of four (4) procedures in order to clear the necrosis and is associated with a complication rate of approximately 22%.1 The EndoRotor System allows a physician to simultaneously resect and aspirate necrotic material from a walled-off pancreatic collection under direct endoscopic visualization through a lumen apposing metal stent or cystogastrostomy. The recently completed FDA Investigational Device Exemption (IDE), which enrolled 30 patients in the United States and Europe, demonstrated an average of two (2) procedures to complete necrosectomy, no complications related to the use of EndoRotor, and a 10% procedural complication rate. Furthermore, trial patients were hospitalized for an average of sixteen (16) days as compared to an average of 32 days reported in literature. Continue Reading >>


 

FDA-clearance for airway procedures

Cision PR Newswire | December 24, 2019

Interscope, Inc. announced today the receipt of marketing clearance from the FDA for the EndoRotor® System to commercialize Pulmonary indications. Interscope innovated the first flexible microdebrider for use by medical specialists in the digestive tract with reported results reducing the need for surgery in recurrent adenoma and removal of walled off necrosis. The company now looks to expand its offerings into the Pulmonary space. Respiratory disease is affecting over 1 billion people worldwide and is considered to be one of the leading causes of death with 4 million people prematurely dying from chronic respiratory disease according to the WHO. Current airway disease interventions include lasers, microwave and cryo-therapeutic devices. These interventions are limited by their risks for airway fires and thermal damage to collateral tissue. The EndoRotor provides thoracic surgeons and pulmonologists expansive reach within their patients using the flexible microdebrider to facilitate disease removal without thermal energy.
