Indications of the colonic FTRD®neo
The colonic FTRD®neo is a device for flexible endoscopy designed for full-thickness resection and diagnostic tissue acquisition through resection of suitable lesions in the colon and rectum.
The colonic FTRD®neo may be used for:
- Non-lifting (recurrent) adenomas
- Adenomas at difficult locations (at/in diverticula, appendix base)
- Small subepithelial tumors
- Submucosal tumors
- Follow-up resection of malignant polyps
- Early carcinomas
The colonic FTRD®neo
The colonic FTRD®neo consists of an application cap with a pre-loaded FTRD®neo clip, integrated HF snare and thread, thread retriever, endoscope sleeve with adhesive tapes, and FTRD®neo hand wheel.
During the procedure, the application cap is mounted onto the endoscope tip, with the snare running outside the endoscope and protected by the endoscope sleeve (Click here to watch the assembly video). Rotating the hand wheel tensions the thread and deploys the clip; the integrated HF snare then cuts the tissue above the clip.
The colonic FTRD®neo is suitable for endoscopes with a diameter of 11.5 – 14.0 mm and a working channel diameter of at least 3.2 mm.
