Dr. Matthew Ryan Reaches Milestone 100+ TNEs with the EvoEndo Endoscopy System

  • Dr. Ryan is the first in the nation to complete over 100 TNEs using the EvoEndo System  

Philadelphia, PA, February 14, 2024 — EvoEndo®, Inc. (“EvoEndo”), announces that Matthew J. Ryan, MD, pediatric gastroenterologist, is the first physician in the nation to complete more than 100 TNEs (Transnasal Endoscopies) of the Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract using the EvoEndo® Single-Use Endoscopy System, cleared for use in patients five and older without anesthesia or sedation.

Dr. Joel Friedlander, Chief Medical Officer and co-founder at EvoEndo, congratulated Dr. Ryan on this significant milestone: "Dr. Ryan recognized the importance of making sedation-free TNE an option for his community, patients, and families. By doing this, he is helping transform pediatric healthcare so endoscopic evaluation can be more accessible, more convenient, and without the need for anesthesia." 

According to Dr. Ryan, “Offering my patients alternatives is vital. EvoEndo's Endoscopy System has opened new possibilities for unsedated TNE. The portability of this system makes it easy to take it out of the endoscopy suite and into the clinics to create an opportunity for point of care diagnosis.” 

EvoEndo has just released its v2.0 Model LE Endoscope, featuring enhanced imaging, ergonomics, and steering. This third iteration demonstrates the company’s commitment to evolving endoscopy through rapid innovation. On using the latest model, Dr. Ryan noted, “The feel and control of v2.0 leads to a more comfortable experience for the patient.” 

“We are delighted that Dr. Ryan, a leader in pediatric gastroenterology, is offering patients and families a sedation-free option with the EvoEndo System. His commitment to improving care for children in greater Philadelphia is not only having a broad impact for his patients locally but also influencing access to this procedure nationally,” said Jonathan Hartmann, Chief Executive Officer at EvoEndo. “Dr. Ryan’s patients can spend less time in the hospital and more time engaged in school and family activities. And his willingness to help other physicians learn will help many patients across the country.”
