EndoTheia, Inc.

You might see a few familiar faces around 0:46 😊 Echoing Duke Herrell's sentiments - Vanderbilt University/VISEVanderbilt is becoming a nexus for a burgeoning medtech ecosystem in middle Tennessee, and as a proud Vandy spinout, EndoTheia, Inc. is just one example of how university and industry collaborations can accelerate the development and commercialization of cutting-edge research.

If you can see it, but can’t reach it… what’s the solution? Urologists know the frustration—spotting a kidney stone in a tricky location but struggling to grab it without causing unnecessary trauma. Ryan Thomson breaks down a game-changing approach to steering technology by NMT that's making stone retrieval easier and more precise, enhancing patient care. What’s your take? What’s been your biggest challenge with stone retrieval? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

What existing procedures do you think could be improved, and potentially made entirely endoscopic, with steering technology? Amy Jeary, Marketing Manager, and Ryan Thomson, Technical Sales Engineer, discuss how Nissha’s advanced steering technology, developed in partnership with EndoTheia, Inc., is enabling greater anatomical access in medical devices. Unlike traditional pull-wire methods, this approach scales down to sub-1mm sizes, allows for larger, more advanced tools, and simplifies both actuation and assembly. From kidney stone management to enhanced imaging for diagnostics, this technology is improving access to deep anatomies with greater precision.
