The idea behind Endolumik came to Dr. Nova Szoka as she performed hundreds of bariatric surgeries at West Virginia University hospital, and was looking for a way to increase bariatric success rates, while making her own procedures more efficient. What Dr. Szoka created with CEO Mara McFadden is Endolumik, a surgical device company founded in Morgantown, West Virginia. Together, they have developed a patent-pending fluorescence-guided esophagogastric calibration system (i.e. bougie) for use in gastrointestinal surgery. The novel integration of near-infrared lighting with the intra-gastric stent is designed to improve visualization, situational awareness, consistency, and help reduce adverse events in robotic and laparoscopic operations. Surgical teams will have unprecedented visibility, which can improve efficiency and consistency.
