Winning an MDEA
in one year validates the success of a project. But having won the award three
years in a row, as LSI Solutions (Victor, NY) has done, says president and CEO
Jude S. Sauer, MD, underscores the company’s culture of innovation. Winner
of a 2002 MDEA, the ESD Flexible Endoscopic Suturing Kit is used during endoscopic
therapeutic interventions. The kit provides a safe and effective means to utilize
long, narrow, flexible instruments to ergonomically suture gastrointestinal
tissue sites that lie within approximately 70 cm of the mouth or anus. Return

LSI supplies the ESD kit exclusively to Wilson-Cook Medical Inc. (Winston-Salem,
NC), which supports further development, marketing, and sales. LSI selected Wilson-Cook
after reviewing a number of potential partners. Wilson-Cook’s expertise in
flexible endoscopy as well as its international presence were influencing factors
in the decision. The arrangement allows LSI to continue focusing on its core competency
in minimally invasive surgery.
