Apollo Endosurgery Receives FDA Clearance for OverStitch™ Sx Endoscopic Suturing System Flexible endoscopic suturing using Apollo’s current version of OverStitch is an important tool for both surgeons and gastroenterologists, but it is currently only compatible with a limited number of dual channel endoscopes and physicians without access to this specific capital equipment cannot leverage the benefits of endoscopic suturing.
