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.
Watch this space for further EndoFLIP updates!

Gastric -Band Technology
Following FDA approval for their EndoFLIP product, Medical Device developer Crospon has broken into the US market.
Crospon develops medical devices within the area of gastroenterology specifically in monitoring, diagnosis and therapy.
The World Congress of Endoscopic Surgery were presented with pilot clinical trial results for the optimum stoma size for gastric band adjustment.
Following the release in the European market in 2009, EndoFLIP will now be launched in the US market.
“Gastric banding is the fastes-growing class of bariatric surgery in the US, and we believe that EndoFLIP can bring a new science to gastric-band adjustment”, says Larry Fulton, VP Sales for the Americas.
Crospon Principal investigator Dr Robert G Snow also added, “In addition, we look forward to collaborating with a number of new leading bariatric surgery study centres inside and outside of the US as we collectively seek to better define new techniques for best use of the EndoFLIP system for gastric band adjustments”.

Science Jobs in Engineering
Science Jobs are engineering the future in Ireland today as the demand for R&D Engineers, Polymer Engineers, QA/RA Engineers and openings for senior professionals such as, Head of Research & Development, Regulatory Affairs Specialists and Scientists continues to increase despite the economic downturn.
In particuar Research and Development investment from inward and outward sources has trebled in the past 10 years and is now at €2.6 billion or almost 1.7% of GNP. Intelectual property rights within the pharmaceutical, medical devices, software and ICT manufacturing industries are now being given serious consideration as a major and strategic contributor to Ireland’s economy which as a revenue generator has a far greater long term financial generational potential than energy resource such as offshore oil and gas which todate have proved so far to be both costly and disappointing.
With the advent of the internet, Ireland has found its engineers and scientists research and design skills are now open for trade with the world and unlike natural resources are only limited by the numbers we educate and train in our universities and colleges.
To this end, Ireland has already begun a move away from depending on the goodwill or self interest of overseas multinationals and is now making provision for the future itself by strategically identifying those industries and markets worldwide that our native human resource skills can be applied to and to gain our financial share of a global market that numbers in the Trillions of Euros.
As previously mentioned Ireland is already at an advanced stage of exploiting opportunities within the global nano technology markets that combine hybrid technolgies such as biopharma -nanobots, programable drugs and micro medical devices.
Instead of being discouraged by the limitations of what resources we have had in the past, Ireland is now positively assessing what we do have and the futher potential we have by shaping the world around us to our advantage to engineer the future.
After all the description of Ireland in the past as that as the Island of Saints and Scholars is not far from what we would wish overseas investors seeing Ireland anew as, the Isle of R&D.

A New Year and New Science Jobs are expected to increase. Last year American firms were the largest investors in
Intel- One of Ireland Inc's Largest R&D Investors
Ireland inc with nearly 2000 additional jobs created across a range of manufacturing and technical service sectors. The US has invested almost $150 Billion in Ireland in the past year with major investments from Intel, Boston Scientific, Teleflex, Pfizer, HP and Abbott to name a few. This investment is showing no immediate sign of diminishing.
Almost 100, 000 people are in full time emplopyment with US multinationals counting for almost 70% of IDA backed projects throughout Ireland with close to 600 firms covering Biopharma, medical devices, semiconductors, precision engineering, software, telecommunications, Pharmaceuticals, Project Management and Engineering firms providing high end design and technical skills that will be the basis for Irelands future smart economy.
2009 was with out doubt one of the hardest years Ireland has endured economically but we possess a wealth of technical and knowledge based skills that translate and compete internationally with the best and brightest from the US, Germany, Japan and Singapore.
R&D invetsment in Ireland both Nationally and internationally has also grown which indicates a level of confidence in the future that looks beyond the recession we have experienced to date. We are definately not out of the woods yet but we can see through the trees to the light beyond. Knowledge will light the way to a brighter future.

Irish R&D competing and contributing globally
Ireland is punching above it’s weight as its continues to gather more than its share of foreign direct investment in Research and Development. FDI for R&D for the majority of countries worldwide is down by 30% yet Ireland continues to attract major R&D funding from global investors. As previously stated in this blog, as disparate technologies such as medical devices, ICT, biopharma and pharma converge, commercial opportunities continue to expand and Ireland has positioned itself excellently to take advantage.
Nanotechnology is one field that because of significant recent developments within life sciences technologies is expected to grow in business opportunities worldwide to a figure of just over $3 Trillion from a figure of just under $150 Billion by 2015.
As things stand currently, Ireland is competing strongly against significant international established players such as Israel, Singapore, Germany and the US and yet we continue to gain a considerable portion of international funding available for investment.
Last year alone 80% of all Irish exports were life science or IT related. Of this Multinationals contributed to 73% of R&D spent in the country with €19 Billion of this expenditure spent directly in the Irish economy.
Impressive figues and statistics by any interpretation and a clear indicator that Ireland continues to attract high value projects and opportunities for high skill, high value jobs. Given the current economic climatic conditions we are experiencing this is very good news indeed-long may it continue.

NanoDevice Micromesh
Nanodevice Medical Devices Make Big News in Ireland. As previously mentioned on this blog, Medical devices continue to be a major center of growth and activity both in R&D and job creation for the Irish economy. But allied to this power house another developing science is begining to make itself felt. Nanoscience is rapidly converging and combining with the BioPharma and Medical device sectors which were once seen as distinct and completely sepperate branches of science and are now adding incredible synergies. Medical devices and biopharma products are now being enhanced and expanded far beyond their existing or previously envisioned applications into new and advanced medical or clinical applications. They have also opened up completly new research vistas undreamt of less than five years ago.
Nanoscience adds a different dimension or perhaps microdimension to products such as medical devices that allows them to operate at the subatomic level. For instance, as we see with most medical devices at present they operate as simple tools treating the symptoms of ailments whereas we are already witnessing the application of nanoscience to medical devices that will very soon actually allow them to actively cure an illness.
Specifically we can envisage the usage of nano robots that can heal tears in arteries unreachable by contemporary surgery techniques. Additionally early research is already being undertaken with the development of gold plated nano drugs capable of functioning as effectively as a smart bio weapon, guided precisely and unerringly to the point of infection such as cancerous tumours doing away with debilitating chemo or radiation therapy.
Added together, medical devices, ICT and Biopharma employ over 130,000 people emphasising their importance to the nation as a significant economic driver. Given the global market for nanoscience products is over €3 Trillion Dollars, or to localise this figure, last year Ireland exported over €150 Billion in goods and services, of this 10% were nanoscience enabled or related products or €15 Billion. By 2015 this figure could be as much as €30 Billion.
Small wonder then that as this sector continues to grow in importance, it will continue to be a beacon of hope in a time of unprecedented economic gloom.
