Support material for Endoscopy

  • KytoGEL supports endoscpic surgery.
  • Adhesive hydrogel simplifies the endoscopy for resecting digestive tract tumor or sealing anastomotic hemorrhage.





KytoGEL simplifies endoscopic dissection of gastrointestinal mucosa.

  • The KytoGEL liquid is endoscopically injected into submucosa.
  • KytoGEL converts itoself into adhesive and insoluble hydrogel by UV irradiation,
  • IIIIand then permanently lifts up mucosa.
  • The adhesive hydrogel between muscular layer and mucosa controls hemorrhage
  • IIIIafter the resection, and then inhibits the outbreak of perforation..
  • Especially, the adhesive hydrogel is effective to the endoscopically submucosal IIIIdissection (ESD) to treat wide region.

Effective adhesiveness of KytoGEL at injured tissues results from covalent bond.

  • The strength to seal up a pinhole of pig organs was examined.
  • The stress resistance of KytoGEL was compared with that of fibrin glue.
