Market approval for LiftUp® in Australia and New Zealand

Ovesco is proud to announce that LiftUp® has received market approval in Australia and New Zealand. It is a new injection agent for  endoscopic resection techniques such as ESD, EMR and POEM. Due to its thermoreversible properties it becomes a gel at body temperature and forms a stable and long-lasting cushion in the submucosa.

Preclinical evaluation shows that LiftUp is an effective alternative to common injection solutions¹ and could fasten up endoscopic resection because of its long-lasting and pronounced lifting effect². Together with our procedural concepts EMR+ and ESD+ it delivers an optimized endoscopic resection technique.
