Understanding TNE
Transnasal Endoscopy (TNE) is a minimally invasive procedure that allows a physician to insert an endoscope through the nose and examine the upper digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.
Sedation-Free TNE with the EvoEndo Endoscopy System
The EvoEndo sedation-free endoscopy system sets a new standard of care for TNE with its FDA-cleared, single-use scope. Designed to be ultra-slim, narrow, and highly flexible, it minimizes discomfort and allows doctors to perform transnasal endoscopies safely and comfortably in various settings without the need for general anesthesia. Furthermore, the EvoEndo Model LE Endoscope® is intended for single-use only, effectively eliminating the risk of contamination.
Thin, Single-Use Scopes
Our ultra-thin scopes are designed for small anatomy and are only used once, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination.
Sedation-Free
Sedation-free means no needles! It also reduces fasting time before the procedure, and recovery is quicker, so you can get back to your day!
Patient-Friendly
Sedation-free TNE only takes about an hour. Your doctor can give you real-time information during the procedure.
