    A novel plastic oversleeve facilitates safe endoscopic removal of sharp stomach foreign bodies. This method reduces mucosal damage and prevents object dislodgement during retrieval.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic procedures
    • Medical device innovation

    Background:

    • Endoscopic foreign body removal is common.
    • Sharp objects pose risks of mucosal perforation and dislodgement.
    • Existing methods may cause patient discomfort or device failure.

    Observation:

    • A protective plastic oversleeve was developed for endoscopic use.
    • The oversleeve allows repeated endoscope passage without patient discomfort.
    • It stabilizes the foreign object during grasping and withdrawal.

    Findings:

    • The oversleeve method minimizes the risk of sharp foreign body damage to the gastric mucosa.
    • It prevents dislodgement of the foreign object from grasping forceps during endoscopic retrieval.

  • Repeated endoscope insertion and removal are tolerated by patients.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a safer approach for endoscopic removal of sharp gastric foreign bodies.
    • It has the potential to reduce complications associated with foreign body ingestion.
    • The oversleeve may improve patient outcomes and procedural efficiency in gastrointestinal endoscopy.
