Asahi Intecc USA Enters the Gastrointestinal Market
Asahi Intecc USA is proud to announce its arrival in the gastrointestinal (GI) market in the United States with the launch of two pioneering endoscopic tools: Tornus ES and Fielder 18. This marks a significant strategic milestone for the company, infusing its expertise from cardiovascular and neurovascular interventions into the expanding field of gastroenterology.
Introduction of Advanced Endoscopic Tools
By venturing into the GI sector, Asahi strives to enhance the capabilities of gastroenterologists who perform intricate endoscopic procedures. The new devices are designed to tackle prevalent challenges encountered during pancreaticobiliary procedures, providing healthcare professionals with increased control and clinical assurance.
Tornus ES: Endoscopic Dilator for Precision Dilation
The Tornus ES is an expertly engineered rotary-operated endoscopic dilator, crafted specifically for stricture dilation in the pancreaticobiliary system. It plays a crucial role during complex endoscopic procedures such as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
This device features a dual-coil framework made from stainless steel combined with polymeric materials, delivering optimal flexibility and durability. The tapered metal tip comes in two sizes, 0.018" and 0.025" guidewire diameters, allowing for effective expansion of strictures. A hydrophilic coating also facilitates smooth passage through the anatomical pathways, enhancing overall performance during critical procedures.
Fielder 18: Guidewire for Improved Selective Cannulation
The Fielder 18 is designed as an advanced guidewire for the selective cannulation of essential biliary ducts, including the common bile duct and pancreatic duct. This tool is crucial for the precise placement of diagnostic and therapeutic devices, ensuring safety and accuracy during the procedures.
Benefits of Tornus ES and Fielder 18
These devices are tailored to meet the modern needs of gastrointestinal specialists, providing an unparalleled mix of reliability, precision, and clinical significance. Tornus ES facilitates the effective dilation of strictures while Fielder 18 assures controlled access for device placement, bolstering procedural outcomes.
"We are thrilled to introduce Tornus ES and Fielder 18 to our gastrointestinal product line," said Shaun Mazur, the GI National Sales Manager at Asahi Intecc USA. "These innovative tools are designed to meet the increasing demands placed on clinicians, ultimately improving patient outcomes and procedural efficiency."
