DiLumen -Model EZ Glide -Endolumenal Interventional Platform (EIP) with Hydrophilic EZ Glide Coating
EZ Glide is an innovative, proprietary, hydrophilic coating applied to DiLumen’s inner sheath. Activated by simply water or saline, EZ Glide reduces the need for messy accessory lubricants. The result is an easier, faster and cleaner preparation, with a marked improvement in endoscopic stability, visibility, and control.
- Improved endoscopic performance: stabilize the endoscope tip and the nearby anatomy.
- Gentle anatomic control: safely straighten and penetrate tortuous anatomy for faster access and improved control.
- Cleaner preparation and improved visibility: reduce the need for messy gels or oils during preparation and improve intraoperative visibility.
- Conduit: enable safe and repeated access, and efficient exchange of tools and tissue removal.
Superior manipulation of colon
- Aids in colon straightening and shortening
- Navigate challenging sections of the colon
- Easier access to lesions
- Reduce fatigue from excess torque and manipulation of endoscope
Stabilization of the endoscope tip in relation to the intestinal wall
- Therapeutic Zone™ (TZ) stabilizes colon, endoscope, and tools
- Better control of endoscope, tools, and tissue
Conduit to therapeutic site
- Scope exchange without loss of position
- Instrument stabilization and exchange, when necessary
- Quick return to the therapeutic site
Visualization is enhanced, especially around flexures and folds
- Manipulation of colon wall and improved positioning of lesions
- Facilitate defect closure
- Expose polyps hidden behind folds
Dynamic retraction of mucosal tissue during procedures
- New suture loops enhance visualization of mucosal planes with Dynamic Retraction +DR™ capabilities
- Improved Patient Outcomes and Satisfaction
- Reduced Complications and Shorter Hospital Stays
- Lower Costs Across to the Healthcare System
