For today’s endoscopic specialists, mastering advanced techniques like ESD is no longer optional; it is fundamental to delivering optimal patient care.

Through our long-standing commitment to professional education, and in close partnership with institutions like the Erasmus School of Endoscopy (ESE), we aim to empower physicians with access to both advanced technology and the expertise needed to use it effectively.

During the ESD and Third Space Endoscopy workshop, participants gained hands-on experience with these techniques using our INSPIRA video processor, i20c endoscopes, and the HemoStat WideCup. The imaging systems are designed to deliver high-end image quality and ergonomic support, while the HemoStat WideCup offers precise bleeding control through its unique bipolar technology. Together, these tools support the precision and efficiency required for advanced therapeutic procedures.

As we celebrate International Men’s Health Week, we encourage healthcare professionals to prioritize conversations around GI health.
Men face a higher risk of developing conditions such as Barrett’s esophagus and colorectal cancer, conditions that often go undetected due to delayed or missed screening opportunities.

Why does screening matter?
For men aged 50 and older, colonoscopy and other endoscopic screenings are crucial for the early detection of conditions like colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. Early identification allows for timely intervention and can significantly improve outcomes.

What can you do?
As a clinician, you play a vital role in promoting preventive care. Use this awareness month to emphasize the importance of GI screenings and guide patients in making informed decisions about their long-term health.

#MensHealth #Prevention #Screening #GI #Endoscopy

For years, physicians have learned endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) techniques on their own, without structured training or expert guidance. Now, that is changing.

Mentorship is key to mastering EUS, as Dr. Matteo Tacelli, Gastroenterologist at San Raffaele Hospital, emphasizes the value of learning directly from experienced physicians.

That’s why we are proud to work closely with and engage physicians through our PENTAX Medical Forward AcademyTM trainings. Our EUS masterclass helps physicians gain insight into real cases, understand how to manage complications, and build confidence through practice.
