Englewood, CO April 17, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Dragonfly™ Endoscopy Inc., a pioneer in next-generation endoscopic technologies, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for its novel 360° Rotatable Pancreaticobiliary Scope — the first and only device of its kind. Purpose-built to elevate the standard of care in cholangioscopy and pancreatoscopy, this milestone marks meaningful progress toward overcoming long-standing challenges in pancreaticobiliary care.
“Securing FDA clearance is a defining moment for our company and for the field of endoscopy. This innovation was born from a deep understanding of the challenges physicians face in managing complex pancreaticobiliary conditions — and a relentless drive to solve them. We're proud to deliver a tool that enhances precision, expands therapeutic options, and ultimately improves outcomes for patients.” — Jeremy Starkweather, CEO, Dragonfly™ Endoscopy Inc.
The Dragonfly™ Pancreaticobiliary Scope features a slim 10.5Fr catheter, a large 1.7mm working channel, and advanced capabilities for biopsy and lithotripsy — empowering physicians with greater precision and control for both diagnosis and treatment.
Each year, more than 650,000 ERCP procedures are performed in the United States to diagnose and treat disorders of the liver, bile ducts, and pancreas.¹ When further intervention is required, cholangioscopy and pancreatoscopy offer direct access to these ductal systems, allowing for targeted biopsies, mucosal evaluation, and stone therapy.²
Dragonfly™ Endoscopy Inc. has initiated a limited U.S. commercial launch, with early procedures already performed at leading endoscopy centers in collaboration with expert endoscopists. Full commercial availability is anticipated in mid-2025.
