Endo Tools Therapeutics’ Endomina Gastroenterology Suturing Tool Cleared

Endo Tools Therapeutics has received the FDA’s 510(k) clearance for its Endomina system, designed for endoscopic placement of sutures and approximation of soft tissue in the gastrointestinal tract.

The device can be affixed to various tested standard endoscopes, providing a bendable therapeutic channel that can move independently, the company said.

This enables the gastroenterologist to perform endoscopic suturing similar to laparoscopy interventions, entering through the patient’s mouth for an incisionless procedure.
