Sign Up for one of the 2024 Courses organized by the IHU Strasbourg!

The Institute of Image-Guided Surgery (IHU Strasbourg) continues to develop its training offer in Therapeutic Endoscopic Ultrasound (TEUS) and invites you to attend one of the 2024 courses.

Therapeutic Endoscopic Ultrasound (TEUS) has been established as a new reference technique for the minimally invasive treatment of digestive pathologies. This has led to a growing need for specialized training of echoendoscopists wishing to work on models that reflect the reality of their clinical practice.

The IHU Strasbourg offers advanced level courses where practical focus is fundamental. These courses are intended for experienced echoendoscopists who would like to train in TEUS with internationally renowned experts. Training is based on pathological in-vivo models elaborated to mimic the different pathologies encountered and to facilitate learning how to treat these using Endoscopic Ultrasound.

In 2024, the IHU Strasbourg is proposing ENTEC-IHU, a unique 2-day course with practical training by a panel of international experts. Participants will benefit from 7 hours of Hands-on training with simulated models and get to practice up to 10+ procedures. Training sessions take place in an exceptional multimodal imaging platform (scanner CT, angio CT, IRM and C-ARM) where participants are able to access the latest generation equipment in EUS.

Objectives

  • Progress from Diagnostic EUS to Therapeutic EUS.
  • To understand the full potential of Therapeutic EUS in the daily practice of endoscopy.
  • 100% hands-on training on original and realistic in-vivo models.

7 hours of Hands-on training – Up to 10 procedures:

  • Multiple simple and complex cystogastrostomies – cold and hot systems
  • Gallbladder drainage
  • CBD gastrostomy (Choledochal drainage)
  • Radiofrequency ablation
  • FNB & FNA
  • Portal pressure measurement
  • G-G anastomosis
  • Fiducial placement
  • Glue and coil embolization
  • Hepaticogastrostomy (optional)
  • Neurolysis of celiac ganglia
  • Microbiopsy sampling

TAURUS Endoscopy AND RDS WINNERS OF THE 2022-2023 STATE INNOVATION COMPETITION

TAURUS Endoscopy AND RDS WINNERS OF THE 2022-2023 STATE INNOVATION COMPETITION

Jul 17, 2023 | News

TAURUS Endoscopy, an IHU spinoff company, and RDS (Rhythm Diagnostic Systems), long-term partner of the IHU, are winners of the 2022-2023 State Innovation Competition. The awards ceremony was held on Tuesday, July 4, 2023, in the presence of Sylvie Retailleau, Minister for Higher

Education and Research, Roland Lescure, Minister for Industry, Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister for Digital Transition and Telecommunications, and Bruno Bonnell, General Secretary for Investment in charge of France 2030.

To promote the emergence of major French champions on the international stage and encourage entrepreneurial spirit in deeptech, the French State Innovation Competitions have been rewarding researchers and entrepreneurs throughout France since 1999.

Bruno Mutet, President and co-founder, Mariel Bolhouse, CEO and co-founder, and Lee Swanström, member of the Scientific Advisory Board, have accepted the iLab Grand Prix for TAURUS Endoscopy. The company develops innovative medical devices for flexible interventional endoscopy based on revolutionary clip technology.

The i-Lab prize promotes the results of public research through the creation of innovative technology companies. For the 2023 edition, the jury of experts singled out 79 winners from among the 400 applications received for the national competition, particularly in the healthcare, digital and chemical sectors.

CEO Elie Lobel received the iNov award on behalf of RDS. RDS offers hospitals the MultiSense® solution for continuous, accurate remote monitoring, enabling physiological follow-up of patients even within the comfort of their own homes. This is a miniaturized, connected medical device, manufactured in France, which enables very high-quality remote monitoring (continuously over several days) of key cardiac and respiratory parameters, particularly during post-surgical monitoring.

The i-Nov program supports innovation projects by start-ups and SMEs with particularly strong potential for the French economy, with the aim of fostering the emergence of leading companies with global reach. In total, 108 winners were selected for waves 9 and 10 of the competition, for a total of €80 million.

BRAVO to TAURUS and RDS. We are proud of your success!
