    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a key minimally-invasive technique for gastrointestinal lesions.
    • Widespread adoption of ESD is limited by technical challenges, long procedure times, and inadequate tools.
    • Effective tissue traction is crucial for reducing ESD difficulty and ensuring safe lesion removal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce the first wireless, endoscope-independent ESD retraction device.
    • To provide adjustable traction force control for enhanced tissue manipulation during ESD.
    • To address limitations hindering broader clinical application of ESD.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel magnetic retraction device (3.25 mm wide, 45 mm long) actuated wirelessly by an external rotating magnet was developed.
    • Device design was guided by an actuation model, with characterization of actuation and mechanical retraction.
    • Clinical feasibility was assessed through ex-vivo experiments using a porcine gastric model.

    Main Results:

    • The device achieved 20 mm retraction at 0.2 mm/s, generating a peak force of 7.98 N.
    • Ex-vivo testing demonstrated a dissection speed of 11.3 cm²/hour, exceeding the international benchmark by 1.25 times.
    • The device provided adjustable traction force control and wireless actuation.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed retraction device significantly improves tissue control during ESD.
    • Enhanced visualization and control can expand ESD applications, reduce complications, and shorten procedure times.
    • This technology offers greater surgical independence from the endoscope and broad applicability within the GI tract.
