Endoscopic Mycosal Resection (EMR) procedure overview of a sessile polyp using Olympus devices

This video shows how a sessile polyp would be removed using an Olympus SnareMaster Spiral Snare. This snare is specifically designed to remove sessile polyps found throughout the GI tract. The Spiral Snare is equipped with a braided wire design which minimizes slippage during closing and provides more coagulation current during removal. To start the procedure, an InjectorForceMax injection needle is used to inject a viscous fluid underneath the polyp. This fluid is used to separate the target area from healthy tissue below by creating a liquid cushion. Once the polyp has been sufficiently raised a SnareMaster Spiral Snare is places around it. Electric energy is then used to remove the polyp. This educational program is not designed to replace the information in the “Instruction for Use” (IFU) that accompanied the device when it was purchased. All material in the IFU should be reviewed prior to operating the device.
