GESIKA is a innovative product package
consisting of various items that are needed for a successful
execution and completion of an endoscopic procedure for treating
varices using surgical glue.
The active ingredient of GESIKA is 'Enbucrilate' (n-butyl
2-cyanoacrylate) also widely known as surgical glue. Total one
milliliter of Enbucrilate is provided in a easy snap-off ampoule.
The main tool for executing a glue pack procedure through endoscopy
is the 'Needle'. One endoscopic needle (export quality, size 21 G)
is included in the GESIKA pack. This needle is proteced by a hard
shell of plastic coil.
Once the procedure is completed, the endoscope needs to be pulled
out and the cleaned immediately. Any glue left out can choke the
channels or cover the camera or light path of the endoscope
resulting in inusable endoscope which may require expensive
maintennence. GESIKA pack includes a endoscope clensing liquid
(medical grade acetone) for quick and safe cleaning of endoscope
channels.
Also included in the GESIKA pack are two syringes complete with
needles. One can be used to inject Enbucriate and other can be used
for injecting clensing fluid (acetone) to clean the endoscope after
withdrawal and completion of the procedure.
