Abstract:
A medical device designed for gastrointestinal endoscopists who require a more effective means of removing blood clots from the upper GI tract during episodes of upper GI bleeding. It is an endoscope attachment that breaks down blood clots, allowing them to be removed through the existing endoscope suction channel. Current methods are time-consuming, ineffective, and often life-threatening. This device offers an efficient alternative that makes the procedure quicker, safer, easier, and more cost-effective. The product offers simple solution to a life-threatening problem.
