Short Hills, N.J.-based 3NT Medical has received the FDA’s 510(k) clearance for its Peregrine drivable ear, nose and throat scope, which is designed to provide surgeons with accurate views of the sinuses.

The company says a study comparing Peregrine to rigid endoscopes showed that its product “was able to view 100 percent of the frontal and sphenoid sinuses and 97.1 percent of the maxillary sinus compared to 45.3 percent, 53.3 percent and 39.4 percent, respectively.”

The single-use device allows surgeons to view all the sinus space and to visualize anatomic landmarks up close during and after operations, 3NT Medical says.
