Endolumik

Endolumik is a surgical device manufacturer specializing in fluorescence-guided surgical tools for gastrointestinal procedures, particularly bariatric and gastric surgery. The company's flagship product is the Endolumik Gastric Calibration Tube, a patent-pending bougie system featuring integrated near-infrared (NIR) lighting that illuminates the stomach from within, enabling surgeons to visualize the calibration tube through thick tissue layers during laparoscopic and robotic procedures. The device includes integrated suction capability to minimize tool swaps and reduce operative time. Compatible with standard NIR-capable cameras and existing laparoscopic/robotic surgical equipment, the system addresses critical complications in bariatric surgery including perforation, excessive gastric narrowing, and inadvertent stapling. Founded by Dr. Nova Szoka and CEO Mara McFadden, Endolumik aims to enhance surgical precision, improve workflow efficiency, and standardize gastric sleeve creation outcomes. The technology emits the same wavelength as Indocyanine Green (ICG), making it compatible with existing surgical imaging infrastructure.
