Foreign Body Management

The revolutionary Guardus® overtube was developed to address the inadequacies of traditional overtubes by enhancing the efficiency and safety of your procedures. An exclusive tapered tip design hugs the endoscope to help protect the patient’s oesophagus from mucosal shearing or tearing, while its unique insufflation cap helps maintain desired insufflation and guards medical personnel against leakage of body fluids.

The Guardus® overtube is designed to assist with the following endoscopic needs:

• Foreign body/sharp object extraction
• Stent removal
• Upper endoscopic mucosal resection
• Minimising the risk of aspiration
• Gastroparesis and achalasia
• Active upper GI bleed
• Procedures requiring multiple scope insertions
