KnoxFog™ is a new, effective, sterile, medical-grade, bio-comptable anti-fog solution. Application takes just 3 seconds to apply a smooth, flat, hyper-hydrophilic sterile flim on lenses that lasts for a minimum of three hours.
KnoxFog™ is currently in FDA 510(k) review for clearance mid-September 2024. It is an ophthalmological compound which is benign, bio-compatible, and pH neutral (7.2-7.4) that overcomes the shortfalls for existing products.
The KnoxFog coating can be easily removed during scope cleaning. KnoxFog™ outperforms existing products in size, costs, safety and effectiveness in direct side-by-side comparisons.
The Endoscope Fogging Crisis: A Critical Barrier to Surgical Success
Fogging hinders surgical success. Endoscopes have transformed minimally invasive surgeries, but lens fogging remains a significant problem for surgeons.
CAUSE:
- Temperature differences between endoscope and patient’s body
- High humidity and exposure to bodily fluids
IMPACT:
- Frequent interruptions to clean lens, extending surgery times
- Increased risk of complications and errors
- Compromised visual clarity and surgical precision Frustration and stress among surgical teams
PREVALENCE:
- Effects 77% of endoscopic procedures across specialties
- Impacts millions of surgeries worldwide annually
LIMITS OF CURRENT SOLUTIONS:
- Anti-fog sprays: require reapplication, may leave residue
- Heated lenses: expensive, may not provide consistent protection
- Time consuming to apply and use – most add more time instead of saving time
THE NEED FOR INNOVATION:
- Current solutions are inadequate
- Reliable, long-lasting anti-fog technology is needed
- Eliminates interruptions and maintains optimal clarity
KnoxFog™ empowers healthcare providers to optimize endoscopic and surgical efficiency while enhancing patient outcomes while revolutionizing minimally invasive surgery.

Time to Fog
Competitors
Competitors products require scopes to be warmed and anti-fog product reapplied every 15 mins.
Time Cost of interruptions due to scope warming and reapplication:
9 interuptions in 3 hr = 54 min $7.2k.
KnoxFog™ DOES NOT require scope warming OR reapplication. It lasts 3+hours.
KnoxFog™ SAVES $24k during a 3-hour procedure – $475 per use cost for a saving of $23,525.
*Assumes OR time is $133 per minute. This does not take into consideration Surgeon and Anesthesiologist fees or other expenses. 54 additional minutes x $133 per minute = 7.2k
