OTSC®neo System
OTSC®neo is the next step in the development of OTSC®, an innovative clip system for the endoscopic treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding and for the closure of acute and chronic wall lesions.
In close dialogue with medical professionals worldwide, we have significantly improved the system with OTSC®neo in the three areas of clinical performance, application, and handling.
Clinical performance
- Clip optimization leads to additional lateral compression and a larger compression area
- Improved application even in difficult locations thanks to double-sided clip feed
Application
- Visual confirmation of clip placement through blue application ring
- Gentle passage of the cap due to rounded edges of the clip teeth
- Optimized cap geometry thanks to new application mechanism for improved insertion
Handling
- Easier access to the working channel, e.g. for rinsing with a syringe
- Clip rotation during assembly is prevented by the new cap shape
- Quick and easy assembly thanks to stable handwheel frame and new fixing strap
- Improved grip thanks to the larger grip surface of the handwheel
Application
Hemostasis
OTSC®neo is superior to standard therapy for hemostasis in non-variceal upper GI bleeding. The vessel stump can be pulled into the cap with the aid of suction and securely closed with the clip, while protecting the tissue. In the case of fibrotic or hard tissue, the OTSC® Anchor can be used as an application aid to mobilize the tissue more easily into the cap.
Perforation closure
The OTSC® Twin Grasper® can be used as an application aid for closing perforations. It can grasp the lesion edges to be better mobilized into the cap and securely closed with the OTSC®neo Clip.
Fistula closure
OTSC®neo is also suitable for closing fistulas. The OTSC® Anchor is placed at the fistula opening, the tissue is then pulled into the cap and securely closed with the OTSC®neo Clip. When treating fistulas, it is advisable to remove the epithelial tissue, e.g. by using APC, a biopsy forceps, or a brush, before applying the clip. For optimized fistula closure, the target tissue can also be incised with the AqaNife® prior to clip application.
Preventive tissue compression after ablation
OTSC®neo can also be used for tissue compression after ablation in the lumen and aims to minimize complications such as bleeding after resection.
Ovesco FTRD® Full-Thickness-Resection
Full-Thickness Resection Device for Flexible Endoscopy
The FTRD® system is a fast, transluminal, minimally invasive technique for diagnostic and therapeutic full-thickness resection via the flexible endoscope in the duodenum, colon and rectum.
The technology is based on the well-established OTSC® system, enabling the surgeon to resect all the layers of suitable lesions including the serosa. The design of the FTRD® system ensures that the transection of the tissue happens only after the defect has been closed completely. At no time will the abdominal cavity and bowel lumen be in contact.
The FTRD® Advantage
- Minimal thermal injury
- Valid histologic evaluation of one en-bloc specimen according to residual tumour (R) classification
- Complete instrument set for endoscopic full-thickness resection procedure

Innovex Flexible Negative Pressure Ureteral Access Sheath
Designed to improve safety and efficiency during urological procedures
The Flexible Negative Pressure Ureteral Access Sheath (NP-UAS) is an innovative device that improves safety and efficiency during urological procedures. The NP-UAS features a unique negative pressure suction system that removes debris and fluids from the urinary tract.
- Enhanced Safety: Reduces intrarenal pressure during ureteroscopy in the kidney to minimise the risk of sepsis and injury. Reduces the need for multiple reinsertions of the ureteroscope, which can lower the risk of ureteral trauma.
- Increased Efficiency: Improves visualisation in the ureter and kidney during laser lithotripsy. Enhances stone debris and fragment retrieval, which reduces overall procedure times.
- Improved Patient comfort and ease of use: Kink-resistant hydrophilic coated sheath is reinforced with a stainless steel coil, designed to provide stability and strength through tortuous ureters and reduce friction and irritation to the ureter.
- The Flex-Tip allows for the access sheath to reach the target calyx and stone with the flexible ureteroscope in situ.
The Flexible Negative Pressure Ureteral Access Sheath (NP-UAS) can reduce intrarenal pressure, improve vision, remove stone fragments and save operating time and the need to open a stone basket. With its unique negative pressure system, reinforced tip, and patient-friendly design, the NP-UAS is poised to become the preferred choice for urologists.

ENT
Mediplast ENT Disposables
The Mediplast ENT products are the leading single use choice. Doctors all over the world prefer the Mediplast products for numerous reasons:
It is time consuming and difficult to clean reusable suction instruments. There is a trend worldwide to use single use instruments in healthcare in order to improve quality control and avoid cross-contamination.
The "real" price of a reusable instrument is the cost of cleaning and resterilising. Compared to a disposable product this is often higher than the cost of a Mediplast disposable product.
Mediplast metal and plastic suction tips are designed in close collaboration with ENT doctors. Important features such as the angle of the suction tip, which enable the doctor to have an unimpeded view through a microscope, and the suction control handle connector that facilitates quick change of suction tips during surgery, were all the result of ensuring the needs of an ENT Specialist were met.

MEDICAL STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Scan Modul
The Scan Modul system is an intelligent storage solution based on a space efficient, modular approach to constructing the storage infrastructure within hospitals. The modules used are interchangeable between the various storage systems available, so that the storage can be adapted to the current and future needs of the hospital.
Coupled with the physical hardware, is the process and workflow for materials management. The Scan Modul system is designed to take advantage of recognised best practice methods for managing inventory and replenishment of supplies using the "no-count" concept. The Scan Modul Data System (SMDS) and hTrak software solutions complete the picture! Intelligent storage begins with intelligent modules.
Since a hospital operates in a dynamic environment, it needs a flexible solution that can easilyadapt to new conditions. Therefore, Scan Modul have created a modular storage system based on ISO-standard measurements 600x400 millimetres. The concept provides two set-up possibilities. The first possibility is called ”A” insert, in which the module is inserted with the narrow end of the module first (400mm). The second possibility is called “B” insert, in which the module is inserted lengthwise (600mm).
All modules are fully interchangeable and offer endless possibilities. The concept also allows modules to move freely throughout the whole system. This provides you with the possibility to arrange, change and reorganize the set-up as you wish! Dividers turn every module into a small, tailor-made and easily modifiable storage system in itself. Build your own systems with modules made from steel, acrylic or ABS.
