ESD Done Differently

Speedboat-assisted Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (S-ESD) enables precise dissection and controlled coagulation while reducing procedural complexity for endoscopists.

Speedboat technology capabilities:

  • Precision cutting and controlled coagulation
  • Reduced device exchanges
  • Designed to support safer dissection
  • Utilised in the upper and lower GI tract

Clinical data shows:

  • Large polyps removed much faster than with monopolar for increased efficiency1
  • Complex procedures can be performed with one device not three2
  • Excellent safety profile and better bleeding control better than monopolar2
  • Young doctors can do ESD procedures faster and safer3

“I feel very comfortable using Speedboat UltraSlim for Esophageal ESD because I feel its safer in potentially causing less injury to the muscle layer, for that reason Speedboat UltraSlim is my device of choice for Esophageal ESD”

Dr Adolfo Parra-Blanco, Consultant, Nottingham University Hospitals

Simpler Procedures. Safer Dissections. More Patients Treated

ESD is one of the most technically demanding procedures in therapeutic endoscopy. Speedboat technology changes the equation — combining advanced bipolar RF and super-high frequency microwave energy in a single multi-modal device, so you can dissect, coagulate and inject without switching instruments. ESD is a powerful technique for removing early GI cancers and complex lesions, but its adoption has historically been limited due to:

  • Technical complexity
  • Long learning curves
  • Risk of perforation and bleeding
  • Multiple devices required during procedures

This is why clinicians and endoscopy specialists around the globe are recommending S-ESD due to greater procedural control, a superior safety profile, and the ability to extend ESD practice further across the GI tract.

Oesophageal ESD

Lower GI ESD

“In the future, I hope more Health Boards will start doing this procedure, it will become gold standard.”

Dr. Alka Joshi
Consultant Gastroenterologist - NHS Wales

“To be able to sit the device on the muscle bed, and safely and securely coagulate vessels and tissue without causing injury or tissue damage was the wow factor as to why I want to use this product”

Dr. Eduardo Albeniz
Endoscopy Unit at Complejo Hospitalario de Navarra

“Speedboat is effective in POEMs in particular because it can speed up the tunneling process and prevents inadvertent thermal injury. It may also help with post-procedural pain.”

Dr Salmaan Jawaid
Assistant professor of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine

“This platform is a leap in the advancement of colonic submucosal dissection, making the ESD procedure easier, faster and safer.”

Dr Zacharias Tsiamoulos
Endoscopy Clinical Lead, GI Endoscopy East Kent University Hospitals Trust

A Multicenter Asian Experience with SSD Knife:Simplifying Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) for Novice Endoscopists with a Focus on Learning Curve and Safety

N Paibulsirijit, N Wiriyakulnun, J Wongyongsil, T Sukaram, P Tawaina

SSD demonstrates high efficacy and safety for colonic polypectomy, even in the hands of novice endoscopists. Its intuitive design facilitates rapid learning, making it a promising tool for broader clinical adoption. The international collaboration involved in training further underscores its global potential and adaptability.
