SpydrBlade™ Flex used in novel BEAM procedures
Creo Medical Group plc announced the successful clinical use of its SpydrBlade Flex device in two Bariatric Endoscopic Antral Myotomy (BEAM) procedures performed by a leading US innovator, highlighting the device's precision and control in complex submucosal environments. The SpydrBlade Flex, powered by Creo's CROMA Advanced Energy Platform, was utilized for a precise full thickness antral myotomy, demonstrating its versatility in advanced third-space and bariatric endoscopic procedures. This development reinforces SpydrBlade Flex's role in Creo's GI portfolio and its potential to support the adoption of emerging therapeutic endoscopy techniques, with the company focused on expanding clinical applications and partnerships.

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n \nCreo Medical Group plc\n(\"Creo\", the \"Company\" or the \"Group\")\n \nCreo Medical's SpydrBlade™ Flex used in novel bariatric endoscopic technique\nby leading US innovator\n \nCreo Medical Group plc (\"Creo\" or the \"Group\"), the medical device company specialising in advanced energy solutions for therapeutic endoscopy, today announces the clinical use of SpydrBlade Flex in Bariatric Endoscopic Antral Myotomy (\"BEAM\") procedures, performed by Professor Christopher C. Thompson MD, a globally recognised pioneer in bariatric endoscopy and originator of the BEAM technique.\n \nProfessor Thompson successfully completed two BEAM procedures using SpydrBlade Flex and presented the results at Frontiers in Endoscopic Surgery (FES) 2026, a leading international forum for advanced and emerging endoscopic procedures.\n \nTranslating innovation from podium to practice\nBEAM is a non-invasive endoscopic bariatric procedure that adapts principles from third-space endoscopy to selectively target the gastric antrum, reducing contractility and delaying gastric emptying to promote long term satiety and weight loss in obese patients.\n \nThe use of SpydrBlade Flex for BEAM procedures highlights the rapid evolution of endoscopic bariatric techniques and the capability of Creo's products to deliver precision and control in complex submucosal environments.\n \nIn the procedures, SpydrBlade Flex was utilised to perform a precise full thickness antral myotomy, demonstrating its versatility across advanced third-space and bariatric endoscopic procedures.\n \nExpanding the role of advanced energy in metabolic endoscopy\nSpydrBlade Flex is powered by Creo's CROMA™ Advanced Energy Platform, delivering adaptive bipolar radiofrequency and microwave energy to enable controlled cutting, dissection and haemostasis.\n \nEndoscopic bariatric therapies such as BEAM are increasingly positioned as a minimally invasive option between pharmacological therapies and surgical intervention. As the field evolves towards approaches that modulate physiological function, advanced energy solutions are expected to play a central role in enabling safe and reproducible procedures.\n \nSupporting global clinical leadership\nCreo continues to collaborate with leading clinical innovators and centres of excellence to sup...
