IQ Endoscopes

Who we are

We are a team of clinical, med tech and engineering specialists committed to creating clinically effective, high performance single use flexible endoscopes on a global scale.

Using a novel and patented engineering approach, our range of single use endoscopes will deliver much needed change within endoscopy, addressing the huge demand for the service globally.

Our mission is to help endoscopists and their service providers improve their way of working, giving them greater flexibility, choice and control so they can increase capacity and ultimately save patients’ lives.

Progress to Date

Foundation of IQ Endoscopes

IQ Endoscopes started with founder Dr Patrick Ward-Booth in 2015. After 40 years’ experience in the field of endoscopy, he realised the huge impact a single use endoscope could have on the provision of a global service.

Innovation in design

In 2017, Dr Ward-Booth had a chance encounter with a materials expert from the automotive industry, Andrew Miller. Using a novel engineering approach to the design, an early-stage prototype was quickly developed with encouraging results. The design was granted a patent in July 2020.

Development of Technology Platform

The final stage prototype of our single use gastroscope is ready for regulatory approval in early 2021.

A full range of GI endoscopes will then follow between 2021 and 2023.

Secured £1.5m equity seed funding

Initial investment secured from the Development Bank of Wales, Creo Medical PLC and a group of Angel Investors in December 2020.
