The OverStitch Endoscopic Suturing System allows physicians to perform full-thickness endoscopic suturing through a flexible endoscope in a manner similar to hand suturing. It can deploy both running and interrupted stitches with a single insertion of the endoscope. The system mimics the motion of a curved surgical needle and is designed for controlled suture placement. It is a single-use device available with absorbable or non-absorbable suture materials.
