Ambu has received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for its single-use Ascope Gastro Large gastroscope.

It is the first single-use gastroscope to be approved by the FDA, Ambu says. 

The approval will give surgeons and physicians a broader selection for examinations in the gastrointestinal tract, among other areas. The portfolio also includes Ascope Gastro. 

Ambu has a target of 1.5 million procedures worldwide with Ascope Gastro Large and a target of 2 million per year for Ascope Gastro. 

Ascope Gastro Large was approved by European authorities in September 2023.
