BELLEFONTE, Pa. - PennZone -- Actuated Medical, a leading innovator in medical device technologies, proudly announces the receipt of a second FDA 510(k) clearance for its GripTract-GI™ Endoscopic Tissue Manipulator (GripTract) product line. GripTract is now indicated as an accessory for lower GI endoscopes with diameters from 11.5 to 13.3 millimeters and working lengths of 130 to 170 centimeters. Designed as a single-use device, GripTract connects to the distal end of an endoscope leaving the working channel available for other tools. The GripTract Fingers are like a 'third hand' at the end of the endoscope enabling clinicians to enhance optical visualization, diagnosis, and endoscopic treatments.

This expansion empowers physicians with a highly effective solution designed to enhance performance and precision during complex colonoscopy procedures.
