Mentor, Ohio - June 29, 2010 - US Endoscopy, a world leader in endoscopy device design and manufacturing, is proud to announce the release of the Traxtion^™ hexagonal snare. Arguably one of the stiffest snares on the market today, the Traxtion^™ hexagonal snare is ideal for the resection of flat lesions.

"Over the years, we have received many requests for a snare that would address the challenges of resecting flat lesions," says Gulam Khan, US Endoscopy CEO and Co-chairman. "Many snares tend to slip off of flat lesions and require repeated placement to complete the resection. The hexagonal shape and firm wire design of the Traxtion^™ snare help to grip the mucosa for a successful resection without the need to alter technique."

Unlike many other snares, the unique wire and memory points inherent to the hexagonal design also allow the Traxtion^™ hexagonal snare to maintain its shape through multiple resections.  Piecemeal or en bloc resections of flat lesions are simplified with the Traxtion^™ hexagonal snare.
