Fujifilm Unveils Advanced Therapeutic Double Balloon Endoscope

The Endoscopy Division of FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A. Inc., today announced an addition to its pioneering Double Balloon Endoscopy (DBE) technology portfolio: the new high-resolution Double Balloon Endoscope (EN-580T) featuring a larger working channel (3.2mm) and advanced visualization technologies (new high-resolution Super CCD), with improved operability (redesigned and repositioned balloon air feed inlet).

“At Fujifilm, we deliver innovative solutions that help improve patient outcomes and practice workflow for GI professionals,” said Keiichi Nagata, president, Endoscopy Division of FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc.   “In the realm of interventional endoscopy, the new therapeutic double balloon endoscope is a major step forward and will take gastrointestinal endoscopy to an exciting new level.”

The small intestine is one of the most difficult areas in patient anatomy to access in GI endoscopy. Fujifilm DBE is an established procedure that allows observation of the entire digestive tract, while simultaneously assisting in tissue acquisition and treatment measures.  The new therapeutic DBE endoscope is engineered to unlock access to difficult to reach pathways within the digestive tract.

“DBE exemplifies diagnostic and therapeutic innovation in deep enteroscopy and continues to evolve as a solution beyond the small bowel. We see physicians in practice using Fujifilm DBE in difficult pathways such as surgically altered anatomy and difficult-to-intubate large intestine,” said Kaz Maenosono, senior director of Marketing and Product Management, Endoscopy Division of FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. “With our latest advancements in DBE, Fujifilm endeavors to be instrumental in the treatment of small bowel disorders and beyond.”
