Creo Medical is developing and commercialising minimally invasive endoscopic electrosurgical devices. Its CROMA platform delivers a combination of advanced bi-polar radiofrequency (RF) and microwave energy for the purpose of dissection, resection, ablation and haemostasis of diseased tissue. The initial focus is on gastrointestinal (GI) procedures expanding into soft tissues (such as the pancreas) and pulmonology. The company has had all six products within the CROMA platform CE marked with four cleared for use by the FDA and the other two expected to be cleared in the coming months. Creo’s first commercially available device, Speedboat Inject, is now used across the globe.
