Boston Scientific launches Captivator EMR Device for endoscopic mucosal resection for management of Barrett's oesophagus

Boston Scientific Corporation announced the launch of the Captivator EMR Device for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), a minimally invasive alternative to an esophagectomy, a surgical procedure that removes part of the esophagus in upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract cases. EMR enables staging and removal of precancerous tissue and early esophageal cancer in the upper GI tract during an endoscopic outpatient procedure.

The Captivator EMR Device is specifically designed for upper GI EMR and provides physicians with enhanced visualisation, control and easy passage of devices. The Captivator EMR Device is available in the United States, Europe, Singapore, Australia and Puerto Rico.
