Transnasal Endoscopy (TNE) is gaining momentum on overburdened Endoscopy Units across the UK as a way to relieve pressure on therapeutic waiting lists. TNE is a great tool to reduce waiting lists and enhance the patient experience for the following reasons:
• Can be performed outside the Endoscopy Room
• Decreased time in Scoping (10 - 15 minutes per TNE procedure)
• Does not interfere with patient's breathing
• No Sedation or General Anaesthetic as the gagging reflex is minimised by going through the nose
• No inpatient stay is necessary
• Biopsies can be performed through the scope
• Pictures taken through the scope and results discussed with patient before they leave
• Patient can go home after the procedure as a faster recovery and no escort to take the patient home is required
Michael Morris, Managing Director said “TNE is a fantastic opportunity for us to ensure patients get the care they need as quickly and efficiently as possible. This however does however require investing in a new scope which is thinner and shorter than a standard Gastroscope, such as the Olympus GIF-H190N Ultra Slim Design.”
Michael added, “Omnimed are delighted to offer a range of instruments that can be used in TNE procedures, such as our Biopsy Forceps WS-1816BTH, Injection Needles WS-1816PN2304, WS-1816PN2305 and WS-1816PN2306 and our Cleaning Brush WS-1823WA(P).
