Aspero Medical Information

The Ancora platform leverages Aspero Medical's patented Pillar™ balloon technology in a interventional overtube that provides better access, stability, control, and usability in flexible endoscopy interventions. Balloon endoscopy is the standard of care in the drive to diagnose and treat small bowel disease as it allows for visualization of the entire small intestine. It is interventional and less invasive than traditional open surgery. Current balloon endoscopy technology is technically challenging and time-consuming. The pressure limitations necessary to prevent mucosal damage reduces anchoring force of the balloon. The Ancora-SB balloon overtube solution is designed to maximize frictional properties, improving mucosal wall traction and anchoring consistency in the gastrointestinal tract.
