NeoGuide Systems is developing robotic endoscopic technology for the rapidly emerging area of Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES). NOTES is a breakthrough surgical technique that allows procedures to be conducted using the body's natural orifices - such as the mouth, anus and vagina - as entry points, minimizing the pain, scarring, recovery time and complications found with open and laparoscopic procedures. NOTES procedures are now conducted with traditional flexible endoscopes, which were designed for use in endoluminal procedures such as colonoscopy and upper GI endoscopy. Due to their design, these scopes restrict the effectiveness of the NOTES method. NeoGuide expects its proprietary robotic endoscopic technology, which was originally developed for application in colonoscopy, to provide unparalleled access to the abdominal and thoracic cavities as well as a stable, force-bearing platform from which surgical tasks can be performed.
