"Gleneagles Global Hospitals’ doctor wins ‘Patent’ for developing a unique surgical device"

• Tool developed by Dr. Rami Reddy will make colonoscopy intervention easy
• This is the second Patent granted to Dr. Rami Reddy for his innovations

Hyderabad, August 4th, 2021: Dr. Yalaka Rami Reddy, Interventional Gastroenterologist at the Gleneagles Global Hospitals, a leading multi-speciality healthcare provider in the city, has been granted ‘Patent’ from the Government of India for developing a unique surgical device _ Composite Polypectomy Snare _ which would make colonoscopy intervention process easier than its existing form. Patent was filed last year and the same was granted recently.

Expressing happiness on winning patent for his innovation, Dr. Y. Rami Reddy, Interventional Gastroenterologist, Gleneagles Global Hospitals said, “There are certain complexities in the existing devices used to snare polyps from inside the colon region in a human body, and the challenges I personally faced or many young or novice endoscopists face compelled me to innovate this device which is not just easy to handle, it also reduces the time taken to perform colonoscopy on complicated polyps. Controlling internal bleeding will be made easy using this innovation, which was a complicated affair in the earlier instances. This device will now undergo the rigours of testing by concerned authorities, and sometime soon it will hopefully be put to commercial use.”

“Our institution is proud to claim that we have an innovator who constantly works towards developing solutions to complex problems being faced by healthcare professionals. Innovations by Dr. Rami Reddy will certainly redefine the approach gastroenterologists would take to surgical and non-surgical procedures in the times to come. The hospital and our parent organization, IHH Healthcare from Singapore, congratulate Dr. Reddy and wishes him many more successes in the times ahead,” added Mr. Gaurav Khurana, CEO, Gleneagles Global Hospitals – Lakdikapul.

Interestingly, this is the second patent won by Dr. Rami Reddy for his product innovations. Earlier, Dr. Reddy developed a feeding pipe which will provide great relief to terminally ill patients suffering from esophageal cancer. This unique feeding tube will address current problems like complete blockage in the esophagus occurring due to cancers.
