DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The Tornus ES is a rotary-operated dilator designed for use in bile duct/pancreatic duct strictures and via transgastric/transduodenal dilation of openings.

The Tornus ES is comprised of stainless-steel coils and polymeric materials. The Dilation and Shaft segments are composed of coils materials that are welded together.

The Tornus ES is available for prescription use only.

DILATION SEGMENT

The coil of the Dilation portion of the device is a dual coil design consisting of an upper laver Wire coil and a Rope coil under layer. The distal side of the dilation segment is tapered, and the surface is coated with Resin and a Hydrophilic coating.

A tapered metal tip is welded to the tip of the coil. This metal tip is available in two applicable guidewire diameters: 0.018 inch and 0.025 inch.

SHAFT

The Shaft coil is also a dual coil design consisting of a rope coil in both the upper and under lavers.

The proximal end of the coil is coated with polyurethane, and a grip is bonded to it using an adhesive.

Principal of Operation

The Tornus ES is advanced as the physician rotates the grip, in a fashion similar to that of a screw, due to the spiral-wound wire coil design. Once the target site is reached, the site is expanded via the outer diameter of the device's tapered shape.
