Tunable Magnetically Actuated Retraction Device for Improved Control During Endoscopic Tissue Manipulation

Key Points

• The study aims to enhance tissue control in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) procedures.
• Developed a tunable magnetically actuated device for tissue manipulation.
• Evaluated its performance in improving visualization and control during ESD.
• Tested deployment along various locations in the gastrointestinal tract.
• Surgeons experienced improved control of tissue during ESD procedures.
• Enhanced visibility of the dissection plane was noted.
• Device maintained functionality independent of the flexible endoscope.
