* The predictable performance of the clips, even in a fully angulated scope, ensures procedural efficiency.
* The proprietary sheath and clip design minimize the potential for channel damage, helping reduce repair-related expenditures.
* The clip materials are stronger than stainless steel and tested to remain in place for 14 days for improved procedural outcomes.

QuickClip Pro clips are designed for use with Olympus endoscopes to address the clipping needs for both upper and lower GI endoscopy.

"As the pioneer in endoscopic clipping, Olympus is committed to maximizing the efficacy of mechanical hemostasis in GI endoscopy," said Rick Harbuck, Group Vice President of the Endoscopy Division at Olympus America Inc. "By effectively delivering more precise control and placement, QuickClip Pro clips can help facilities meet the requirements of healthcare reform aimed at improving quality of care, decreasing costs and enhancing patient satisfaction."

Specific advantages of QuickClip Pro in meeting the triple aim of healthcare reform include:
* Quality of care: Rotational control and open and close functionality allow precise placement and control of the clip, delivering more confidence in treatment with the potential to reduce the risk of complications.
* Decrease costs: With easier insertion and placement even in complex cases, the clip can help speed up procedures. Extra durable arms with an opening width of 11 mm ensure the clip can reliably cover larger areas and be placed further apart.
* Enhanced patient satisfaction: With proven performance, QuickClip Pro clips have the potential to reduce the risk of complications from hemostasis, potentially allowing patients to be released from care more quickly.

The QuickClip Pro will be showcased at ASGE's EndoFest 2014 September 19-21 in Las Vegas, Nev. (Booth #9), and at the ACG 2014 Annual Meeting October 17-22 in Philadelphia, Pa. (Booth #727). Physicians are invited to stop by the Olympus booths at both shows to see the latest advances in hemostatic clipping.
