Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study will investigate the usefulness of a novel device (Channel Smoother M: CS-M) that applies lubricant continuously and automatically, developed to protect working channels in flexible endoscopes. In a bench test, we will evaluate the effect of CS-M on the uniformity of lubricant application and dynamic friction force. In the clinical introduction phase, we aim to clarify whether CS-M contributes to reducing the burden of endoscopic procedures by evaluating the endoscopist's feeling of use and satisfaction during the procedure on a 5-point Likert scale.

Basic objectives -Others

This study will evaluate the safety of a novel continuous lubricant application device (Channel Smoother M: CS-M). The presence or absence of any accidental or adverse events occurring during and immediately after endoscopic procedures while wearing the CS-M will be observed.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Change in dynamic friction force (bench test): The dynamic friction force (N) during instrument withdrawal with and without the new continuous lubricant application device (Channel Smoother M: CS-M) is compared to evaluate the lubrication effect.

Key secondary outcomes

1. evaluation of satisfaction with use (clinical evaluation): To evaluate the endoscopist's satisfaction with the use of the CS-M in clinical procedures using a 10-item, 5-point Likert scale at the end of the endoscopic procedure.
2. uniformity of lubricant application (bench test): To visually and qualitatively evaluate the uniformity of lubricant application to the surface of the instrument when the CS-M is applied.
3. number of device insertions (clinical evaluation): The number of times a device is inserted and removed per case will be recorded to quantitatively assess its use under the CS-M and to examine its impact on the usability of the CS-M.
4. treatment time (clinical evaluation): Treatment time (minutes) when the CS-M is used will be recorded, and its impact on practicality and work efficiency will be examined.
5. presence of contingencies (safety evaluation): To evaluate the occurrence of contingencies (device damage, infection, etc.) and adverse events associated with the use of the CS-M.

Interventions/Control_1

In this study, a continuous lubricant application device (Channel Smoother M: CS-M) is used to protect the working channels and reduce insertion stress during endoscopic procedures. The CS-M is attached to the endoscopic forceps opening before insertion of the instrument and has a mechanism to automatically and continuously apply lubricant to the device during the procedure. One of these devices is used per patient and the intervention is performed only during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The duration of the intervention is only one day on the day of the procedure, and the frequency of intervention is planned to be once per case, for a total of 10 cases; the CS-M will be used as a sterile disposable product, the lubricant is a medically compatible non-toxic glycerol base material, and all will be disposed of after the procedure. No medications or additional invasive interventions will be administered to patients.
