Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) is a non-invasive
procedure that uses a flexible endoscope to remove precancerous
and cancerous areas in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
This procedure leaves no scars on the outside of the patient's body,
has a fast recovery rate, and a short hospital stay.
It is generally recommended for lesions larger than 20mm
in diameter without lymph node metastasis.
Make dots using a dual knife around the lesion
Inject fluid to submucosal layer under lesion
Cut mucosal layer along the marking dots around the lesion
Dissect the submucosal layer under the lesion
Push endoscope deeper under the lesioned mucosal layer and continue the dissection
Close the mucosal perforation using clips or a stitching device
Without direct visual guidance, there's a higher risk of unintentional damage to surrounding tissues, blood vessels and perforation issues
The lack of direct visualization may lead to a longer surgical time compared to procedures where visual guidance is available
Closure of mucosal wound caused after ESD increases the patient's recovery speed and shortens the hospitalization period
When attempting to close a mucosal wound larger than the opening width of the clip, endoscopists often encounter difficulty and achieve a lower rate of complete closure
The traction device seamlessly integrates with the closing device without requiring any changes
TraCloser can facilitate both dissection and closure of ESD with one product
TraCloser reduces the perforation rate, shortens procedure time, expand applicable cases,
and improves the rate of complete closure and recovery after ESD procedures
