FTRD® System

What is the FTRD® System?

The FTRD® System is a novel tool for diagnostic and therapeutic full-thickness resection via the flexible endoscope in the digestive tract.

The technology is based on the well-established OTSC® System, enabling the endoscopist to resect all layers of suitable lesions including the serosa. The design of the FTRD® System ensures that the transection of the tissue happens only after the defect has been closed completely. At no time will abdominal cavity and bowel lumen be in contact.

Advantages of the FTRD® System

• Fast transluminal minimally invasive technique
• Proven OTSC® technology for safe tissue closure
• Valid histologic evaluation of one en-bloc specimen according to residual tumor (R) classification
• Minimal thermal injury
• Complete instrument set for endoscopic full-thickness resection procedures

Application of the FTRD® System

The FTRD® System can be used in different parts of the intestinal tract. Depending on the usage site, specific versions of exist. The colonic FTRD® is intended for use in the colon and rectum.
