The most versatile dissection tool in flexible endoscopy

Versatile. Flexible. Precise.

Why use SpydrBlade Flex?

The CROMA Advanced Energy platform and SpydrBlade Flex offer a novel solution, that takes endoscopic resection to new levels, bringing the control and precision of Advanced Energy to the Endoscopy suite for the first time.

Using SpydrBlade Flex to perform advanced therapeutic endoscopy procedures, combines the benefits of advanced bipolar radiofrequency and super high frequency microwave energy, and offers the ability to cut in open AND closed positions, and coagulate and in a single device.

Versatility and precision in one device

Precise advanced bipolar RF cutting

The blade design controls the depth of penetration and provides a focused pathway of energy delivery at lower voltage <460 V. The voltage/current is adjusted based on tissue impedance automatically to maintain power density for a smooth, high quality and precise cut.

This advanced bipolar energy allows for the cut to be performed with the jaws opened, closed or through the tip.

On-demand, controlled SHF microwave coagulation

SHF microwave energy distributes heat evenly across the treatment area, coagulating and constricting the source of bleeds. 5.8 GHz enables controlled depth of penetration not impacted by tissue resistance, designed to minimise the risk of perforation and charring.1

The microwave energy is delivered through both jaws, allowing for application of energy between the jaws, or through the distal end.

Electrical surfaces for versatile cutting, allowing for the cut to be performed with the jaws opened, closed or through the tip.
On-demand, Controlled Microwave Coagulation
SHF microwave energy distributes heat evenly across the treatment area, coagulating the area and constricting the source of bleeds.
Protective Hull
Unique jaw design protects the muscle bed from unwanted thermal injury by maintaining a constant distance from the energy source, allowing cutting close to the muscle bed.

CROMA: The power behind SpydrBlade Flex

The CROMA Advanced Energy platform and SpydrBlade Flex offer a novel solution, that takes endoscopic resection to new levels, bringing the control and precision of Advanced Energy to the Endoscopy suite for the first time.

“Finally, I got the product I was waiting for, and I want the world to know!”

Dr. Sergei Vosko
Chief Endoscopist and the founder of advanced endoscopy resection unit, Assaf HaRofeh Medical Center

“I have been using monopolar energy for many years, I am still worried about getting close to the muscle bed, but with this device I no longer have that concern. The safety profile and localised delivery gives me the confidence to get closer to the muscle bed for a deeper dissection”

Dr. Regi George
Royal Oldham Hospital

Intended Use
