ProdiGI™ multifunctional electrosurgical knife

Bringing confidence to Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD)

Switch without slowing down

Change between two of the most popular knife styles1 without having to remove the device from the working channel.

One device, multiple techniques

With two geometries in one knife, you no longer have to wonder if the other knife is worth the investment during procedures.

Two Knifes. One Design. Zero Compromise.

The Medtronic ProdiGI™  multifunctional electrosurgical knife has been designed for the endoscopists who want to switch from the front cutting technique to the rear cutting technique quickly without the device removal. 

It combines two common knife geometries ― a needle knife and insulated tip knife ― in one.
