Immediate Visibility for Active GI Bleeding.
A new category of endoscopic intervention—built for the moment when visibility determines outcomes. A system that clears blood and clot burden in seconds, so treatment can begin without delay.
Clears the Field. Restores Visibility. Enables Treatment.
During active bleeding, standard suction and improvised tools are not designed to manage large-volume blood and clot burden. ERGO-GI was engineered specifically for this moment, across the GI tract.
By rapidly clearing obstructive blood and clots without clogging, ERGO-GI restores visibility when it matters most—allowing clinicians to focus on treatment, not field management.
Our Solution
Advancing the Next Generation of GI Intervention.
A unified, clinician-built system for active GI bleeding, combining reusable and single-use components to deliver consistent performance and enable treatment without delay.
High-capacity suction.
Delivers significantly increased suction power to manage large volumes of blood and clot efficiently, without loss of performance.
Clot fragmentation mechanism.
Breaks down dense clots that obstruct standard endoscopic channels, preventing clogging and repeated interruptions.
Rapid restoration of visualization.
Restores a usable endoscopic field within seconds, reducing procedural delays during critical moments.
Seamless workflow integration.
Designed to work with standard endoscopes and existing tools—no retraining, no change in procedural flow.
Consistent, single-use performance.
Single-use disposable component ensures reliable performance from case to case.
When Visibility Is Lost, Treatment Slows.
In urgent GI bleeding, blood and clots can quickly overwhelm the endoscopic field. Existing tools are often adapted for this challenge, rather than designed for it—leading to delayed visualization and prolonged procedures.
ERGO-GI addresses this limitation directly by restoring clear visualization early, enabling faster diagnosis and more effective treatment during the initial endoscopy.
Clinical Impact
Designed to Support More Efficient, Decisive Care.
By restoring visualization early in the procedure, ERGO-GI supports clinicians in delivering effective, decisive care—because when visibility is restored early, everything downstream changes.
Identify bleeding sources more quickly
Proceed directly to definitive treatment
Reduce unnecessary instrument exchanges
Minimize procedural delays in high-acuity cases
About Us
Built for Critical Moments in GI Care.
ERGO-GI was founded by experienced endoscopists and frontline clinicians who have spent their careers managing acute gastrointestinal bleeding in real clinical settings.
The team built ERGO-GI around a clear understanding of the pressures clinicians face during urgent procedures—limited time, obstructed visibility, and the need to act decisively. That firsthand experience informs every aspect of the system’s design.
ERGO-GI is guided by a single principle: restore visibility quickly, reliably, and without disrupting care.
Our Team
Built By the Clinicians and Operators Who Understand What’s at Stake.
ERGO-GI is led by experienced clinicians and operators who have spent their careers working inside the environments this system is built for, bringing firsthand insight into the challenges of visibility in critical GI care.
