Behold the “Megacap” ie Ovesco Endoscopy RemOVE FBR Kit. Remove food bolus en bloc by suctioning rather than pushing blindly inward. The large soft cap allows large volumetric capture and folds to allow for passage down the oropharynx easily. The long cap prevents the bolus from jamming the suction channel (as it would short caps). When you see “food out, during suctioning, start to wiggle out and reveal your prize!

Big clots are still a big problem in modern endoscopy. Here is a method to turn a flexible/rigidizing overtube into a large suction attachment to evacuate clots rapidly from the stomach. #GITwitter Douglas G.

When banding internal hemorrhoids in retroflexion, wherever you think you should suction, move another 1cm away from anus to avoid banding the transition zone which is partly sensate. The cap always volumetrically captures a lot more tissue distally than expected. #GITwitter

I am proud to be able to show this now! The Pathfinder CR coverts the existing flexible overtube into an unmatched suction device. The clots pass around the scope and within the tube. This is under direct visualization. I presented this innovation at DDW Shark Tank. #GITwitter

Just got my hands on this NEW fully rotatable sphincterotome! The rotation is silky smooth & adds the final degree of freedom missing in tip control so badly needed in: intra-dochal (hilar, cystic), altered anatomy ERCP and papilla in duodenal diverticulum! #GITwitter

At TSGE, my favorite toy of all: Neptune Pathfinder CR (Clot removal), which is an adapter that coverts the existing Pathfinder overtube into an unmatched suction hose. Disclosure: I helped developed this (very proud!) The CR adapter is about the cost of a clip! #GITwitter

Post Sphincterotomy bleeding is a bit stressful. Here are a variety of tools for hemostasis. My algorithm is usually: 1. Soft coagg w/ tome 2. Balloon Tamponade 3. Epi injection 4. Clip (11mm Conmed Duraclip) 5. Cautery (bipolar or monopolar forceps) 6. FCSEMS 7. Hemospray
