Endoscopic Electrogastrography - 3CPM EGG Technology Applied
Directly to Inside of Stomach
As
previously mentioned in the Patent News section of this newsletter,
3CPM has patented the technology to allow direct EGG recordings from
the inside of the stomach, during a standard gastrointestinal
endoscopy or EGD.
Prototype
devices are soon to undergo validation testing at Wake Forest
University Baptist Medical Center. Once accomplished, Endoscopic EGG
will allow, for the first time, dynamic mapping of nerve and motility
pathways in the stomach.
According to the Chairman/Acting CEO Dr. Noar, this technology
represents not only an enormous potential tool to advance our
understanding of gastric motility, but also a large untapped market
for 3CPM technology.
With the
recent major funding and interest in the technology of pacemaker
implantation, especially in the newly defined and burgeoning field of
obesity control, the Endoscopic EGG is potentially the only
non-surgical, non-invasive methodology available, which is being
considered essential for the proper placement of gastric pacemakers in
the treatment of obesity and other motility disorders.
