"Our patented ENTity-based MobileFEES system enables clinicians to treat patients with an easy-to-use, high quality imaging system backed by first-rate customer support."

The ENTity-based MobileFEES System for FEES (Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing) is designed as an optimal system allowing clinicians to meet the growing need for effective treatment and management of dysphagia (swallowing disorders) in their patient population. The MobileFEES system enables procedures in hospital, office, ambulatory surgery center, or long term care settings.
