RATINGEN GERMANY, April 2, 2026 \u2013 FUJIFILM Healthcare Europe GmbH is delighted to announce the introduction of a specialised FlexCan\u00ae Cannula for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures, with advanced flexibility and rotational performance.<\/p>\n
Manufactured by Fujifilm Medwork Germany and recently launched to the European market at the 28th D\u00fcsseldorf International Endoscopy Symposium, FlexCan\u00ae is compatible* with FUJIFILM\u2019s latest ELUXEO\u00ae 8000 endoscopy solution. It joins an entire series of new and upcoming innovations to be released under the\u00a0\u2018WELCOME, FUTURE\u2019\u00a0initiative.<\/p>\n
LAUNCHED AT D\u00dcSSELDORF INTERNATIONAL ENDOSCOPY SYMPOSIUM<\/p>\n
Recently launched at the 28th edition of the D\u00fcsseldorf International Endoscopy Symposium, FlexCan\u00ae received an exciting welcome from the endoscopy community, as summarised in a symposium presentation delivered by Prof. Weigt:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new specialised FlexCan\u00ae Steerable ERCP Cannula has a build that is similar to a sphincterotome. It shows superior rotatable function, has a shorter bending section for easy use in a small lumen and can be used with a straight wire.<\/p>\n
First impressions – it may facilitate difficult cannulation such as juxtapapillary diverticulum, and targeted cannulation such as branching strictures. It may also facilitate access in bilio-digestive anastomosis. I look forward to planned studies to explore the benefits further.\u201d<\/p>\n
From, –\u00a0Prof. Dr. med. Jochen Weigt, Otto-von-Guericke Universit\u00e4t Magdeburg<\/p>\n
OVERCOMING COMPLEX CANNULATION WITH FLEXIBILITY<\/p>\n
FlexCan\u00ae is a specialised ERCP cannula available in the European market, designed with key flexibility features to deliver an advanced level of bending and rotational performance. With a tip designed to achieve 90-degree angulation and responsiveness in challenging endoscopic positions, FlexCan\u00ae is engineered to support clinicians with precise control when required. Additionally, the thin cannula bends just 9 mm from the tip, supporting endoscopists with manoeuvrability in narrow lumens.<\/p>\n
Overall, FlexCan\u00ae offers endoscopy professionals an opportunity for enhanced control during ERCP procedures, supporting efficient management of cannulation challenges within complex and difficult anatomy.<\/p>\n
EXCLUSIVE BI-DIRECTIONAL 360\u00a0o\u00a0ROTATION FOR DIRECTIONAL CONTROL<\/p>\n
With a tip that can rotate up to 360 degrees in both directions, FlexCan\u00ae is designed to provide directional control within the lumen. This enhanced rotatability stands out in comparison to other cannulas currently on the market and is expected to support clinicians when navigating challenging anatomy for complex cannulations.<\/p>\n
Featuring highly visible X-ray and endoscopic markers, FlexCan\u00ae supports the endoscopist with an accurate indication of its positioning and location during procedures.<\/p>\n
COMPATIBILITY WITH STANDARD AND ENTERESCOPE-ASSISTED ERCP<\/p>\n
Featuring a thin 1.5mm tip diameter and 2.3mm catheter diameter, the FlexCan\u00ae is available in both long and short versions, ensuring compatibility with standard duodenoscopes, short and long enteroscopes. With enhanced bending and rotational capabilities, FlexCan\u00ae is designed to facilitate cannulation using front-view enteroscopes during ERCP procedures for patients with altered anatomy.<\/p>\n
Footnotes<\/p>\n
* FlexCan is compatible with the ELUXEO\u00ae 8000 endoscopy solution. It is also compatible with endoscopes that have a minimum working channel diameter of 2.8 mm and a working length shorter than the nominal length of the product, according to the specifications.<\/p>\n
