SpyGlass™ DS

Direct Visualization System

Value

Using the SpyGlass™ DS System at the time of initial biliary stone treatment may increase the likelihood of successful stone clearance during the first session and may reduce the need for additional procedures1 2 and subsequent costs3. ERCP with cholangioscopy drives efficiency, which is critical for a value-based healthcare environment.*
Improved procedural success rates could influence patient experience, retention and referrals.
Reduction in need for additional procedures and subsequent costs

Economic Impact

Additionally, SpyGlass-DS introduces opportunities for increased downstream revenue associated with treatments for malignancies diagnosed during a cholangioscopy procedure. One study found that the downstream events attributable to the SpyGlass DS System yielded an overall - across both therapeutic and diagnostic uses of SpyGlass-DS - net positive impact of $2,942 over a 90-day post-procedure follow-up period (including the index cholangioscopy procedure).4
ERCP with cholangioscopy is associated with a decrease in costs compared to ERCP alone.5  
$2,942 Impact Over a 90-Day Post-Procedure Follow-up Period
11% cost reduction in treating complex stones
5% cost reduction for stricture diagnosis
