EvoEndo Introduces Additional Gastroscope for Sedation-Free TNE
—New Model LE 85 Single-Use Gastroscope added to the EvoEndo Endoscopy System —
Denver, CO, July 17, 2024 — EvoEndo®, Inc. (EvoEndo) is excited to announce the release of the Model LE 85 Single-Use Gastroscope, providing an additional option for Sedation-Free Transnasal Endoscopy (TNE) of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract.
The Model LE 85 Single-Use Gastroscope is designed to offer maximum patient comfort and physician control when access to the duodenum is not required. It features a shorter shaft length and enhanced flexibility while maintaining all the functionality of the Model LE 110 Single-Use Gastroscope. Physicians can now choose the scope length most suitable for each procedure.
Paul Tran, MD, a pediatric gastroenterologist in Phoenix, AZ, shared, "I volunteered to scope myself as part of an educational event and was surprised at how comfortable the Model LE 85 Gastroscope was. The flexibility of the 85 cm is excellent, while the 110 cm enables me to do a full EGD when necessary. Perfect combo!"
“Our commitment to integrating physician and patient feedback leads to the next generation of product functionality and performance,” explained Paul Imaoka, EvoEndo Senior Vice President of Manufacturing & Operations. He continued, “Rapid, iterative development is the result of strong engineering, a deep knowledge of the application, and a sense of urgency to meet clinical needs.”
Since the FDA cleared the EvoEndo Model LE 110 Single-Use Gastroscope in February 2022, two upgraded models have been released that provide enhanced imaging, ergonomics, and steering. Today’s introduction of the Model LE 85 Single-Use Gastroscope elevates the EvoEndo Endoscopy System’s capabilities and expands clinical indications, underscoring EvoEndo’s dedication to evolving endoscopy.
EvoEndo's Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Hartmann, stated, “Our team is driving innovation to provide patients, families, and physicians with safe and effective devices that enable successful procedures while ensuring the most comfortable experience possible.” He added, “EvoEndo is proud to launch the Model LE 85. We are committed to expanding our platform of ultra-slim endoscopes offering sedation-free TNE for adults and children.”
