Presentation Transcript

  1. Endoscopy • Endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic medical procedure • Assesses the interior surfaces of an organ by inserting a tube into the body • Endoscopic procedures are considered to be relatively painless

  2. Components • A rigid or flexible tube • A light delivery system to illuminate the organ or object under inspection. • A lens system transmitting the image to the viewer from the fiberscope • An additional channel to allow entry of medical instruments or manipulators

  3. Endoscopy-Market Analysis

  4. Types of Endoscopy

  5. Competitive Landscape

  6. New Developments in Endoscopy • Capsule Endoscopy: A person swallows a capsule that contains a light source and a very small camera which takes thousands of pictures as it travels through the intestine. • Virtual Endoscopy: It uses a special CT scan to look at the inside surfaces of organs such as the lungs and create a 3-dimensional (3-D) picture. • Robotic Endoscopy:

  7. Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting • Bypass surgery requires actual removal of a healthy blood vessel, to construct the bypass • Traditional vessel harvesting procedures require a long incision down the length of the patient's leg • Recent advances in technology have made it possible to perform this second procedure in a new, less invasive way, called Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting

  8. EVH Procedure • An endoscope is connected to a video camera and inserted through a small incision in the leg. • The endoscope is used to view the greater saphenous vein inside the leg and allows the surgeon to remove the vein with minimal stress to the leg. • This new procedure generally results in less muscle and tissue damage and therefore, decreases the incidence of wound healing complications.

  9. Today's Speaker • Dr. Albert Chin, Vice President Research & Development, MAQUET Cardiovascular • Extensive experience in designing medical • products in a variety of areas • Holds 150 issued patents and is the author of 40 scientific publications
