Introduction
The document discusses the ENDOx polypectomy snare, a medical device designed for the removal of polyps or lesions with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissues. It highlights the importance of cutting speed in ensuring effective sealing of blood vessels and minimizing thermal damage.

Specifications
The ENDOx snare features a unique design where one half is electrically insulated, and the other half is HF-surgically inactive. This design enhances the effectiveness of the initial cut and minimizes thermal damage. The snare includes markings visible through an endoscope, allowing precise control over the cutting speed.

Design and Functionality
The snare is equipped with an ergonomically-shaped handle that allows precise axial and rotational movements. The handle's design ensures no friction or jamming, and the catheter is separated from the handle for precise operation. The snare's cutting wire is 50% shorter than conventional snares, reducing the first cut delay and the risk of cutting towards the organ wall.

Technical Data
- Maximum opening width: approximately 3 x 4 cm
- Cutting wire diameter: 0.38 mm
- Effective cutting wire length: 50% of conventional snares
- Catheter length: 200 cm
- External diameter of the catheter: 2.3 mm
- HF electricity requirements: Initial cut phase maximum 1.5 A eff, cutting phase < 1.0 A eff
- Maximum permitted HF operating voltage: 1600 Vp
- Minimum HF generator output: 200 Watts

Performance and Safety
The ENDOx snare is particularly suitable for removing large polyps (>1 cm) due to its reduced first cut delay, which minimizes thermal blood vessel damage. The device is certified with CE 0483, ensuring compliance with safety standards.

Conclusion
The ENDOx polypectomy snare offers a precise and safe solution for polyp removal, with its innovative design reducing the risk of thermal damage and improving cutting efficiency. It is supported by high-quality materials and advanced production technology, ensuring reliability and customer satisfaction.
