Reach overtube

Product catalog summary

Product Overview: The Reach™ overtube is designed to assist in the identification and treatment of lesions in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, particularly those located in the proximal small bowel. This is often achieved through capsule endoscopy.

Specifications: The Reach™ overtube has an outer diameter (OD) of 10.5-11.7 mm, a length of 80 cm, an overtube OD of 16.5 mm, and an inner diameter (ID) of 13.5 mm. It is available in units of 3 per box.

Clinical Benefits: The overtube aids in splinting the endoscope from the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to the pylorus, providing a more direct path to small bowel findings. It minimizes the reformation of gastric loops, allows for further advancement of the scope, and promotes one-to-one movement during advanced therapy.

Design Features: The Reach™ overtube includes a hydrophilic coating for smooth insertion and scope movement, a flexible steel-coiled body, and a soft tapered tip to minimize mucosal pinching.

Usage: The overtube is particularly useful in enteroscopy, helping to maintain the position of the endoscope and reduce the formation of loops in the stomach, thereby facilitating more effective treatment.

Manufacturer Information: US Endoscopy, a subsidiary of STERIS Corporation, is responsible for the production and distribution of the Reach™ overtube.
