Outlook Surgical has secured FDA 510(k) clearance for its Inova 1 Towerless Endoscope System—a first-of-its-kind hybrid platform that blends the precision of rigid scopes with the flexibility of traditional endoscopes. Designed for one-handed use, the device integrates directly with surgical instruments, eliminates bulky towers, and delivers crystal-clear HD imaging on any monitor or wirelessly.
Early feedback from surgeons calls the system “intuitive” and “long overdue,” with potential applications extending beyond ENT to gastroenterology, orthopedics, and critical care. With a 2026 launch planned, this innovation could reshape surgical visualization and accelerate the shift toward more efficient, minimally invasive care.
