The MICRO-TECH Traction Device ‘SureTrac’ offers a practical and proven method for supporting ESD procedures in the gastrointestinal tract. With the well-established LOCKADOTM clip and the elastic silicone band, the preloaded system enables efficient tissue tension and improves the view of the dissection area. The traction is achieved by hooking a second clip into one of the four available rings. The four rings allow individual adjustment of the span and can be readjusted during the procedure. SureTrac is a functional system that enables easy handling and effectively supports the clinical workflow.

THE "SURETRAC" TRACTION SYSTEM
The “SureTrac” traction system is designed for tissue retraction in the gastrointestinal tract, supporting exposure, dissection, and removal of tissue. SureTrac can be used with two traction techniques:
WALL-TO-TISSUE BLOCK
The primary clip is attached to the target tissue, the second clip to the gastrointestinal wall. The tension from the silicone band elevates the tissue flap, enhancing visualisation and facilitating dissection. After completion, the second clip is removed, and the tissue is retrieved with the endoscope. If needed, the band can be cut to extract the primary clip, band, and lesion together, while the secondary clip remains in place.
TISSUE BLOCK-TO-TISSUE BLOCK
The primary clip with silicone band is anchored to one end of the resected tissue, while the secondary clip engages the band and is fixed to the opposite tissue block. The resulting tension lifts the tissue flap, improving visibility and allowing for precise dissection angles. At the end of the procedure, the tissue, clips, and band are removed using appropriate retrieval methods.
