3. Endofresh: Disposable digestive endoscope
EndoFresh received FDA 510(k) clearance for its disposable digestive endoscopy system in May 2021.
The system features a camera system with an all-in-one design, disposable upper GI endoscope and disposable colonoscope, which can be used with the company’s medical display and other peripheral devices for physicians to visualize, diagnose and operate gastrointestinal endoscopy.
EndoFresh is one of a handful of single-use endoscope designs that are saving lives. Boston Scientific and Ambu make fully disposable endoscopes, while Olympus, Pentax and GI Scientific make disposable, protective components for endoscope end caps.
