Polypectomy Instruments: Alton Ukraine Product Range and Clinical Applications
Polypectomy is a standard therapeutic and diagnostic procedure in gastrointestinal endoscopy. Its effectiveness and safety largely depend on the correct selection of endoscopic instruments, tailored to the polyp morphology, anatomical location, and specific clinical situation.
Alton Ukraine offers a comprehensive range of single-use polypectomy devices that meet the latest requirements of modern endoscopic practice and international quality standards.
Polypectomy Snares
Alton polypectomy snares are designed for mechanical or electrosurgical removal of polyps of various sizes and types.
Key Features:
- multiple snare shapes: oval, hexagonal, asymmetric;
- available in rotatable models;
- uniform current distribution during electrosurgical polypectomy;
- optimal wire stiffness for controlled capture;
- compatible with standard electrosurgical generators.
Clinical applications:
- pedunculated and sessile polyps;
- gastric, duodenal, and colorectal polyps;
- standard and piecemeal polypectomy.
