Descriptions
Overview
Dexterous Endoscopes is a Swiss MedTech startup and EPFL spin-off developing variable-stiffness endoscopes that can switch from soft to rigid on command, combining the reach of flexible devices with the stability of rigid tools. Its first product, the Variable Stiffness ENTscope, enables new minimally invasive procedures in hard-to-reach areas of the sinuses and larynx, improving precision, speed, and safety for complex ear, nose, and throat surgeries. By equipping surgeons with greater control and advanced tissue dissection capabilities, Dexterous Endoscopes aims to reduce unnecessary invasive surgeries and deliver better outcomes for patients worldwide.
