The company produces and markets a range of endoscopes for medical and industrial use, including cystoscopes, ureteroscopes, laryngoscopes, otoscopes, sinuscopes, TNE and bronchoscopes, as well as digital processing units. Its products feature a visualization system and sterile disposable microbial barrier, EndoSheath technology. Additionally, Vision Sciences offers the Urgent PC Neuromodulation System for the office-based treatment of overactive bladder and Macroplastique, an injectable urethral bulking agent for female stress urinary incontinence. The company also markets additional bulking agents for fecal incontinence and vocal cord augmentation. Its proprietary single-use sheaths slide over the insertion tube of the endoscope, allowing for quick and efficient endoscope turnover while ensuring a sterile procedure for each patient.
