Micro-Tech Endoscopy USA has introduced a new Breathe-EZ Bite Block to improve oxygenation during gastrointestinal (GI) procedures.
Bite blocks provide comfort, protection and assistance during upper endoscopic procedures, said the company.
Designed with a special and softer bite plate, the new Breathe-EZ Bite Block helps to keep the lower jaw forward and the airway open.
Breathe-EZ is said to complement the company’s existing portfolio of bite blocks by providing a composition made with the same premium materials but with enhanced design.
Micro-Tech USA global R&D director Scott Haack said: “Physicians rely heavily on the clinical staff to maintain an open airway through a head tilt and manual jaw thrust maneuver when respiratory complications arise during endoscopic procedures.
“Breathe-EZ inherently opens a patients airway by keeping the lower jaw in a fixed forward position without constant hands-on care by the staff.”
Since 2000, Micro-Tech has been developing products for endoscopic diagnosis and therapeutic medical devices to help physicians deliver better care.
The company’s team claims to have significant experience in the field, as well as an in-depth understanding of both product and use cases.
Micro-Tech Endoscopy carries out operations in America, Asia, and Europe.
In June this year, the company announced the expansion of its EMR and ESD portfolio with the launch of its BlueBoost submucosal lift.
BlueBoost is a viscous submucosal injection fluid that is designed to increase the efficiency of resection procedures.
