HPB Technology

Our technology enables both EUS and ERCP in a single procedure, reducing uncertainty and enhancing patient experience. The Aplio i800 EUS offers precise image enhancement with superior sensitivity and resolution1, while the compact EU-ME3 ultrasound processor provides intuitive, high-level software options2. Both systems deliver improved spatial and contrast resolution, real-time tissue stiffness measures, and expanded blood flow views. For urgent tissue sampling, the EZShot3 Plus offers advanced precision and visibility. In treatment, the TJF-Q190V duodenoscope minimizes post-ERCP pancreatitis risks, and when paired with VisiGlide guidewires, enhances therapeutic outcomes across multiple interventions.

Both systems provide enhanced spatial and contrast resolution, advanced measures of tissue stiffness in real time, and a more expanded view of blood flow than seen before with ultrasound.3

“With EUS diagnostics, we can avoid unnecessary ERCP and associated complications, diminishing uncertainty even in unexpected situations.”
Prof. Dr. Manuel Pérez-Miranda Castillo, University Rio Hortega

HPB Economical Value

Advance efficiency and economy in the HPB endoscopy room
Our HPB portfolio is designed to enhance procedural efficiency. By optimizing techniques for deep cannulation, it aims to support healthcare professionals in minimizing the need for repeated injections. This can contribute to increased confidence during procedures and may help reduce the potential for complications associated with ERCP.

“Sampling and biliary drainage can be performed in the same setting just under one sedation”
Dr Manuel Pérez-Miranda Castillio, University Rio Hortega

This can result in fewer patients experiencing complications during their care, potentially reducing hospital costs. Ultimately, this supports overall procedural efficiency and enhances patient comfort.

“There are only benefits for both the patient and the physician.”
Assistant Professor Andrea Tringali, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Rome

1. VisiGlide may increase primary cannulation success rate by 5%.
2. The shorter angled tip of VisiGlide 2 facilitates insertion into tortuous anatomy, which can prove advantageous in challenging anatomy and hilar areas. A slightly more tapered tip on the VisiGlide 2 allows the formation of an alpha loop and, along with the Terumo hydrophilic coating, promotes navigation of constricted ducts.
3. The area between the 11 o’clock and 12 o’clock position is ideal for sphincterotomy as there is less risk of bleeding. The pre-curved distal end of the CleverCut 3 V consistently extrudes to a stable 11 o’clock position, assisting with cannulation of the papilla and assuring optimized cutting. The CleverCut coating on the proximal end of the cutting wire minimizes damage to the surrounding tissue.
