Founded by someone having more than 15 years experience in themedical device industry, Envision Endoscopy is developing novel devices for endoscopic surgery to simplify procedures, improve patientâs health, and reduce cost of care. The firm is developing a novel suturing device for use in procedures that have traditionally required intensive care, long and costly hospital stays, and high rates of morbidity and mortality. For example, the World Health Organization reports over 3.4 million new cases of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer diagnosed every year worldwide:s ome 20 percent of all new cancer cases. Endoluminal surgery is a less invasive endoscopic alternative to surgical resection of cancerous or pre-cancerous lesions. The therapeutic site, accessed with flexible endoscopes through natural body orifices without incisions, can result in faster patient recovery, reduced number of days at the hospital, and an overall reduced cost of care.
