Early Intervention with Catheter Cryoablation Can Halt Disease Progression in Atrial Fibrillation Patients
A new study shows that cryoballoon catheter ablation (cryoablation), a minimally invasive procedure that involves guiding a small tube into the heart to kill problematic tissue with cold temperatures, can halt disease progression in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). More...09 Nov 2022
First-Of-Its-Kind 4K Endoscope for Arthroscopic Surgical Procedures Launched Globally
A first-of-its-kind 4K endoscope designed for use in arthroscopic surgical procedures is revolutionizing the market by delivering 4K optics in a single-use device – providing first-time quality for every procedure. More...07 Nov 2022
Resorbable Pacing Leads Can Significantly Reduce Risk After Cardiac Surgery
Researchers are developing resorbable pacing leads that can significantly reduce risk factors after cardiac surgery. In the future, bioresorbable leads that can be left in the body and then disappear by resorption after a defined period are expected to replace conventional leads. More...04 Nov 2022
Innovative Light-Triggered Coating for Medical Devices Fights Bacterial Infections
Researchers have developed a durable coating for medical devices which is activated by light, providing on-demand disinfection to destroy bacterial biofilms which may result in infections and pose a serious threat to public health and economy, causing worldwide morbidity. More...03 Nov 2022
Advanced, Unified, Flexible Endoscope Platform to Enhance Imaging
A new partnership between two companies aims to provide a flexible, unified platform for hybrid and single-use endoscopes, including systems used for gastroenterology, hepatology, urology, gynecology, and advanced endoscopic surgery (spinal and cardiac electrophysiology). More...03 Nov 2022
Simple, Cost-Effective Method Can Reduce Surgical Site Infection Across Settings
Researchers have found that routinely changing gloves and instruments just before closing wounds could significantly reduce surgical site infection (SSI) which still remains the most common complication of surgery around the world. More...02 Nov 2022
