Galway medtech Tympany Medical is drumming up interest for its innovative endoscope design.
The endoscope, a long thin tube used to look inside the body, is a piece of medical technology that dates back to the mid-19th century. When coupled with video technology in the ’80s, endoscopy levelled up to give physicians a good look inside their patients without the need for invasive surgery.
Today, there is still room for innovation in endoscopy. Galway start-up Tympany Medical, for example, develops cutting-edge endoscope products for ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgeries.
