More news from German manufacturers, thanks to recent presentations at the medical devices and technologies conference Medica 2007 in Düsseldorf. According to German Healthcare Export Group, KLS Martin, a surgical device manufacturer, has just released a number of interesting innovative devices:
Another new instrument is the marSeal. It is a bipolar sealing system. The reusable sealing system with the new mar seal instrument secures permanent occlusion of veins, arteries and tissue bundles with subsequent dissection and no instrument exchange required! A great Advantage that carry weight is the cost reduction due to minimized use of disposables. Disposable blade guarantees optimal cutting results in any situation. Modular system with different shaft lengths can be used in laparoscopic and open surgery. Above that an easy cleaning is guaranteed because the instrument can be taken apart completely and is autoclavable at 134°C (273°F).
The newest bipolar sealing system marClamp® in combination with the current type SealSafe® offers the possibility of sealing veins, arteries and tissue bundles. A secure hemostasis can be achieved, comparable to classical hemostasis methods applying mechanical clamps and ligation techniques
The Advantages of the system are time saving, as well as an easy set-up and handling. There is no use of foreign material thus no foreign body reactions and better wound healing is guaranteed.
In oncosurgery the tumour cells are destroyed in the SealSafe® zone Furthermore ensure different clamp sizes a wide range of applications.
The Universal HF generator can be used for all surgical disciplines.
The Advantages of the system are time saving, as well as an easy set-up and handling. There is no use of foreign material thus no foreign body reactions and better wound healing is guaranteed.
Also, according to the company’s press release, they just introduced SoftScan plus R, the new highly sophisticated laser system for robotic microsurgery on the vocal cords.
