Novel Endoscopic Bite Block

A Novel Endoscopic Bite Block

This feasibility study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Novel Endoscopic Bite Block. The device will be utilized in subjects undergoing routine outpatient upper endoscopy. The investigator hypothesizes that its innovative design will reduce complications associated with bite block positioning, thereby improving procedural efficiency and patient safety.
