Our technologies include:

Capsule endoscopy for comprehensive, accurate visualisation.¹
Motility testing solutions provide useful information to support diagnosis of conditions like dysphagia, achalasia, and hiatal hernia.^2-4
Support consistent and predictable acquisition of tissue samples with intact cellular architecture.^5-9
Innovative reflux testing solutions that allow you to better understand acid reflux symptoms, assess PPI efficacy and develop the best care plans for patients with GERD.^10,11

Surgical Intervention

We’re continuously innovating to ensure our portfolio meets surgeons’ needs and promotes quicker colorectal patient recovery.

Our portfolio includes tools to meet all surgical needs including access, mobilization & dissection, division, anastomosis and closure:

Electrosurgical instruments
Hernia repair
Surgical stapling
Trocars & access instruments
Vessel sealing & ultrasonic dissection
