Cook Medical Release: Early Clinical Evidence Demonstrates Incisionless Procedure Stops Life-Threatening Bleeding from Stomach Ulcers

HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to early clinical evidence from a safety study, a new endoscopic spray from Cook Medical may offer a new surgery-free procedure for treating potentially fatal acute bleeding of peptic ulcers. The early results, collected at the Chinese University of Hong Kong by lead investigators Dr. Joseph Sung of the Chinese University and Dr. Sam Giday of Johns Hopkins University, suggest an alternative to currently available endoscopic and surgical intervention for major gastrointestinal (GI) bleeds.
