Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are normally performed for removing polyps and early tumorous in the digestive tract. LeoMed is aimed to develop full range EMR/ESD accessories, such as polypectomy snares(hot), hybrid polypectomy snares(hot & cold), endoscopic injection needle (with & without metal tip), which are already launched in the specific market, as well as ESD knife which is under developing.
LeoMed also spends lot of energy on innovative products, to name a few, ligation device, snare probe (ALL IN ONE) and so on.
TYPES OF esd equipment
Ligation Device
LeoMed first innovative product, CE certtified and FDA 510K approved. Appears in several academic articles which posted during DDW and UEGW.
Single-use Snare Probe
Used for delivering argon gas and electrosurgical current to the operating site through a flexible endoscope, to be used for coagulation on the one hand and resection with a wire snare electrode on th...
Polypectomy Snares (Hot)
This device indicated for use endoscopically for the removal of polyps.
Polypectomy Snares (Hot & Cold)
This device is indicated for use endoscopically for the removal of polyps.
Single-use Injection Therapy Needle Catheter
Used for endoscopic submucosal injection and hemostasis.
Single-use Injection Therapy Needle Catheter (Metal Tip)
Used for endoscopic submucosal injection and hemostasis.
Single-use Biopsy Forceps
Used for endoscopic tissue sampling from digestive tract and respiratory tract.
APPLICATION OF EMR/ESD ACCESSORIES
EMR DEVICES INCLUDE INJECTION NEEDLE, POLYPECTOMY SNARES, AND LIGATION DEVICE (IF APPLICABLE) SINGLE-USE SNARE PROBE COULD BE USED FOR EMR/ESD PROCEDURES, IT ALSO NAMES ALL-IN-ONE DUE TO ITS HYBIRD FUNCTIONS. LIGATION DEVICE COULD ASSIST POLYP LIGATE, ALSO USED FOR PURSE-STRING-SUTURE UNDER ENDOSCOPE.
FAQs of EMR/ESD Accessories
Q
What are EMR and ESD Endoscopy?
A
EMR ESD Difference: EMR stands for endoscopic mucosal resection, is an outpatient minimally invasive procedure for removing of cancerous or other abnormal lesions found in the digestive tract.
ESD stands for endoscopic submucosal dissection, is an outpatient minimally invasive procedure using endoscopy to remove deep tumors from gastrointestinal tract.
Q
EMR or ESD, how to determine?
A
EMR endoscopy procedure should be the first choice for the below situation:
superficial lesion in Barrett's esophagus;
small gastric lesion <10mm, IIa, difficult position for ESD;
duodenal lesion;
colorectal non-granular/non-depressed <20mm or granular lesion.
ESD device should be the top choice for:
squamous cell carcinoma (early) of the esophagus;
early gastric carcinoma;
colorectal (non-granular/depressed >20mm) lesion.
