SpyGlass^® Direct Visualization System

The SpyGlass^® Direct Visualization System is a technologically advanced device platform created for the Endoscopist and is designed to accelerate diagnostic accuracy during ERCP. SpyGlass is a single-operator system developed to overcome the hurdles of traditional cholangioscopy systems and reduce the need for exploratory surgery.

Boston Scientific recently received 510K clearance from the FDA to market the SpyScope® Access and Delivery Catheter, for diagnostic and therapeutic applications during endoscopic procedures in the pancreatico-biliary system. Accessory devices utilized with the SpyGlass System may be used to allow the physician to diagnose and treat diseases such as cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer or precancerous tissues, or for stone therapy.

SpyGlass System and EHL: Boston Scientific has entered into an agreement with Northgate Technologies, Inc., for a new GI EHL probe specifically designed for use with the SpyGlass Direct Visualization System.  Once stones are identified, the EHL probe may be passed through the SpyScope Catheter to deliver electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) under direct visualization to break up large stones in the biliary and hepatic ducts.*
