Eso-SPONGE®
Minimally invasive method for the treatment and prevention of anastomotic leakage.
Eso-Sponge® is a minimally invasive method for endoluminal vacuum therapy (EVT), consisting of a drainage tube with an attached open-pore sponge, a connection system, and an application system with a lavage set.
Indication
Treatment of anastomotic leaks or perforations in the upper gastrointestinal tract* by means of negative pressure including intraluminal or intracavitary therapy of paraoesophageal and mediastinal septic focus or localised abscesses endoscopically accessible.
Preventive therapy to reduce the risk of anastomotic leaks in the upper gastrointestinal tract*.
*The upper GI tract refers to the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum, endoscopically accessible within the range of the overtube length.
EVT success rate ranges from 84% to 100% in literature with a mean of 90 %*.
