RotaCut® Sphincterotome

A sphincterotome (papillotome) is a single-use endoscopic device that cuts the papillary sphincter with high-frequency current during ERCP. Sphincterotomy in anal fissure surgery is a different procedure. RotaCut is a rotatable sphincterotome: its catheter tip turns and its cutting wire bows, so the cutting direction is set at the papilla without exchanging the device. Billroth II versions are listed.

A single-use sphincterotome with a rotatable catheter tip for endoscopic sphincterotomy of the biliary or pancreatic sphincter.

In which cases?

  • Sphincterotomy before stone extraction, to open the orifice enough for the stone.
  • The orifice enlarged before a biliary or pancreatic stent is placed.
  • A precut or needle-knife access after standard cannulation has failed.
  • Billroth II anatomy, where the papilla is approached from the other direction.

What makes it different?

  • The catheter tip rotates, so the cutting direction is set at the papilla without exchanging the device.
  • Black ring marks on the cutting wire, so the depth of the cut is read off the image.
  • Two and three lumen versions inject contrast with the guidewire in place.
  • Monofilament, braided and semi-insulated cutting wires in 20, 25 and 30 mm.

Frequently asked questions

What is a sphincterotome (papillotome)?

A sphincterotome (papillotome) is a catheter with a cutting wire that is used for endoscopic sphincterotomy (papillotomy) in ERCP, together with high-frequency current. It is used only with an endoscope, a high-frequency generator and an active cord. The sphincterotomes on this page are sterile from the factory and single use; the one exception is a reusable Billroth II version, supplied non-sterile.

Is sphincterotomy in ERCP the same as sphincterotomy for an anal fissure?

No. Sphincterotomy in ERCP (endoscopic sphincterotomy, papillotomy) means opening the papilla, the orifice of the bile duct and the pancreatic duct, with a duodenoscope. The lateral internal sphincterotomy done in anal fissure surgery is a different operation, and it is not done with this device.

What is a rotatable sphincterotome, and what is there for Billroth II anatomy?

The catheter tip of a rotatable sphincterotome turns, so the cutting direction is set at the papilla without exchanging the device. For Billroth II anatomy, where the papilla is approached from the other direction, this page also lists single lumen 7 French Billroth II versions (OE11222FD and OE11222FD-280). Which version is used is the physician's decision.

Which sphincterotome goes over a guidewire?

The order number answers it: double lumen sphincterotomes, the numbers ending in GW, DL and TRL and the single lumen Billroth II version OE 112 22FD can be placed over a guidewire, up to 0.035 inch. The single lumen needle knife versions carry no guidewire access.

What generator limits apply to the sphincterotome?

Maximum power 300 W and maximum high-frequency voltage 1600 V peak, with the Olympus 3 mm standard connector on the handle. The match between the generator and the active cord is checked every time.

What is the price of a sphincterotome, and how do I get an export quote?

We do not publish a list price on this page. The price depends on the model (needle knife or Billroth II version), the number of lumens, the length and the quantity.
