Fantastic new development for Cystic Fibrosis!

EU Approval for TOBI Podhaler comes as great news for cystic fibrosis patients across the country. TOBI Podhaler, an inhaled therapy for patients with cystic fibrosis, is to be used with patients 6years+ for suppression of chronic lung infections.

“With the approval of the TOBI Podhaler in Europe, and innovative version of an established treatment has become available that will improve the delivery of tobramycin and should have a positive impact on patients’ quality of life”,  said Professor Stuart Elborn, President of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society and Professor of Respiratory Medicine at Queens University.

As a result of this approval, it means that the treatment can now be administered with a user-friendly and compact device in comparison to the previously administered nebuliser. This also reduces the treatment time from 20 minutes down to an amazing 5-6 minutes, delivering a higher level of patient satisfaction.

Dr. Greg Hays of Novartis said “It is an important symbol of our long term commitment to improving the quality of care for patients with this serious and potentially life-threatening disease.”

Success for EndoFLIP!

Success for EndoFLIP!

Cropson’s EndoFLIP has had it’s first use in a new weight loss surgery technique, known as gastric imbrications.

The reversible gastric imbrications technique is a unique procedure that needs no device implanted or no tissue removed from the stomach.

The potential for success in the US is quite realistic, given the popularity for weight loss surgery in the US.

“The EndoFLIP device has the avility to change the way we do bariatric surgery all over the world” says Dr Daniel Cottam, “There has been nothing as revolutionary as this device since the lap band”.
Cottam added “I believe in five years we won’t know how we ever did bariatric surgery without it”.

EndoFLIP technology “fills an important need for the gastric imbrications procedure, namely providing visual feedback to the surgeon “, John O Dea, CEO Crospon as said.

Once again, we wish Crospon the very best of luck with their venture in the US.
