he Disposable Hexagonal-Type Snare by Alton Medical is designed for EMR procedures, combining traditional snare functionality with a unique hexagonal loop shape for improved control during polyp or flat lesion excision. Available loop widths of 10–35 mm allow adaptation to lesions of varying sizes, while tube diameters (Ø 1.8 mm / Ø 2.4 mm) and lengths up to 2300 mm ensure compatibility with most endoscope systems.
Clinical Applications of the Hexagonal EMR Snare
- polypectomy and EMR — removal of polyps and flat mucosal lesions;
- secure capture of tissue before excision;
- application across anatomical sites — from bronchoscopy to colonoscopy;
- adaptation to lesion size via selectable loop width.
