World’s First 4K Single-Use Surgical Arthroscope Improves Efficiency, Consistency and Safety
Conventional surgical visualization systems are complex, expensive, and difficult to maintain. Dirty or damaged endoscopes negatively affect visualization, disrupt workflow, and present unnecessary safety risks to the operating suite. Now, a first-of-its-kind 4K single-use surgical arthroscope is designed to improve the efficiency, consistency, and safety of arthroscopic procedures. More...06 Jan 2023
Tiny Implantable Device Helps Kill Cancer
Researchers have reported encouraging results in laboratory studies testing a tiny implantable device they call a SymphNode, which is designed to keep regulatory T cells in check only in the area around a tumor while summoning and strengthening tumor-fighting cells. The device was shown to drive tumors into remission, eliminate metastasis, prevent the growth of new tumors and result in longer survival in mice. More...06 Jan 2023
Robot Assistants in Operating Room Promise Safer Surgery
Some manual operations are so difficult they can be performed by only a small number of surgeons worldwide, while others are invasive and depend on a surgeon’s specific skill. Now, advanced robotics are providing tools that have the potential to enable more surgeons to carry out such operations and do so with a higher rate of success. More...05 Jan 2023
Reusable Surgeon’s Scalpel Provides Precise Unobstructed Illumination in Anatomic Danger Zones
A patented reusable scalpel enables shadowless illumination just millimeters from the surgical site precisely where overhead lighting cannot reach, thus providing enhanced visualization of nerves and vessels in anatomic danger zones. More...03 Jan 2023
