USGI Medical is committed to the development of technologies to enable Incisionless Surgery – the treatment of diseases through the natural passageways of the body.  USGI’s EndoSurgical Operating System™ (EOS) provides surgeons the operating platform and specialized tools they need to perform surgery through a patient’s mouth or other natural orifices, reducing the need for external incisions into the abdomen.  Operating through the body’s natural orifices offers promise for less pain, shorter hospital stays, reduced risk of wound infection and no external scars – and is rapidly becoming an option demanded by patients and healthcare providers.  USGI offers surgeons and gastroenterologists the tools they need to offer millions of potential patients a less invasive surgical option.
