USGI designed the EOS to addresses a range of Incisionless surgical procedures. The system facilitates access and visualization of the operating field via the body's natural orifices; provides a stable operating platform to enhance surgical precision and control; allows the use of multiple, robust instruments for two-handed operation and enables rapid, durable suturing for tissue folding and wound closure.

About USGI Medical

USGI Medical is the leader in Incisionless Surgery. USGI's EndoSurgical Operating System(TM) (EOS) provides surgeons the operating platform and specialized tools they need to perform surgery through a patient's mouth or other natural orifices, reducing or eliminating 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 technology they need to offer millions of potential patients a less invasive surgical option. USGI estimates its initial target surgical markets to be around $7 billion in the U.S. alone.
