Double Balloon Endoscopy

DBE™ Double Balloon Endoscopy represents Fujinon’s pioneering vision to diagnose and treat pathology in the small intestine. Co-developed with Hironori Yamamoto of the Jichi Medical School, Japan, Double Balloon enteroscopy is an exclusive endoscopic technique that enables visualization of the entire gastrointestinal tract - in real time.

These compact Endoscopes facilitate smoother handling and improved torque control while the patented specialized balloon and over-tube ensure complete positioning of the scope without risk of injury. A balloon-pump designed by Fujinon allows optimal control of the internal dilation pressure which assists with a safe screening process.

Double Balloon Endoscopy has achieved a high profile in the GI community and has been proven clinically effective to diagnose and treat:

• Bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract of obscure cause
• Iron deficiency anemia with normal colonoscopy and gastroscopy
• Visualization and therapeutic intervention of abnormalities in the small bowel
• Diagnosing stenosis of the small intestine such as Crohn’s disease or cancer
