What is the FTRD® System?
The FTRD® System is an endoscopic instrument for full-thickness resection and diagnostic tissue acquisition of suitable lesions in the digestive tract.
It combines resection and secure closure using proven clip technology in a single procedure.
The FTRD® System enables the removal of suitable lesions, including all wall layers down to the serosa. The design of the FTRD® System ensures that the transection of the intestinal or gastric wall only occurs after it has been securely closed at the target site. The intestinal or gastric lumen is therefore not opened during the procedure.
Advantages of the FTRD® System
- Transluminal minimally invasive technique
- Proven OTSC® technology for safe tissue closure
- Blue ring for even better visual confirmation of clip application*
- Good histological assessment of the en-bloc resection by resection in healthy tissue
- Minimal thermal injury
- Complete set for endoscopic full-thickness resection
- Excellent study results with over 145 publications
*The availability of the FTRD® System with blue ring might vary between different countries.
Application of the FTRD® System
The FTRD® System is used for a wide range of indications in different parts of the digestive tract. With three different variants, Ovesco offers the right FTRD® System for the specific requirements: The colonic FTRD® for use in the colon and rectum, the gastroduodenal FTRD® for use in the stomach and duodenum, and the diagnostic FTRD® for diagnostic tissue sampling in the colon and rectum.
The FTRD® System is used, among other things, for:
- Non-lifting (recurrent) adenomas
- Adenomas on/in diverticula
- Small subepithelial tumors
- Early carcinomas
- Adenomas at the appendix opening
- Hypo- and aganglionosis (e.g., Hirschsprung's disease)
- Visceral neuropathies and myopathies (e.g., in chronic constipation)
- Gastrointestinal amyloidosis
Holistic concept: from training to application
With the FTRD® System, Ovesco offers an established, minimally invasive method with excellent study results for a wide range of indications. But Ovesco offers much more than just the system. It is embedded in a holistic concept. Users receive comprehensive support right from the start: from initial training and support during the first applications to follow-up care. The holistic approach also includes the remOVE system for complication management, for example if a clip needs to be removed for various reasons.
