ENT Surgery Collaboration Announced

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 17 Sep 2012
Medical device manufacturer ENTrigue Surgical (San Antonio, TX, USA) has announced a collaboration agreement with fiagon (Berlin, Germany) to explore the delivery of integrated navigation and therapy solutions for Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) surgical procedures.

Under the agreement, the first ENT procedure to be implemented will by sinus surgery using the ENTrigue Ventera Sinus Dilation System, which can be inserted transnasally and then articulated in-place to best access any sinus cavity. More...
The system includes a single-use balloon delivered by one of several reusable instruments utilizing ENTrigue's proprietary SerpENT articulating technology, and does not require manual tip shaping or the use of a guide wire or cannula to deliver the balloon into various sinuses.

The collaboration will combine the Ventera Sinus Dilation System with fiagon’s Dynamic Navigation System, which uses electromagnetic tracking matrix algorithms and unique flexible pointing devices to simplify the use of navigation and diagnostic tools in daily clinical routine. The combination of real-time navigation with balloon dilation is expected to significantly enhance the capability of ENT surgeons to perform minimally invasive sinus surgery.

“We look forward to collaborating with fiagon to integrate two game changing platforms with the goal of bringing easy-to-use, cost effective technologies to the sinus surgery market,” said Fred Dinger, CEO of ENTrigue. “Integrating fiagon's navigation to our sinus dilation platform will provide the ENT surgeon with an unparalleled level of confirmation of balloon position within the sinus anatomy.”

“The team at fiagon is excited to be working with the experienced ENT professionals at ENTrigue,” added Dr. Timo Kruger, CEO of fiagon. “We are encouraged by the possibilities.”
