ENT Surgery Platform Controls Bleeding Better

A new surgical platform assists minimally invasive sinus, turbinate, tonsil, adenoid, and laryngeal surgeries.

The DiegoElite Multidebrider Platform is an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) system that offers monopolar and bipolar energy blades for hemostasis, as well as traditional standard shaver blades. The combination provides specialists with a full array of options using just one device, including an option to control bleeding at the source with fewer instrument exchanges, ensuring that patients receive the best quality of care. Applications for the system include sinus surgery, polypectomy, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, inferior turbinate reduction, and laryngeal applications.

The platform further expedites surgeries and procedural efficiency with features such as a toggle stop to quickly open or close the blade window, dedicated suction along with a convenient bulb for easy de-clogging during the procedure, a choice of ergonomic hand pieces suited to physician preference, and a blade identification feature that ensures every time a new blade is plugged in, the device will default to the recommended setting for that blade. The DiegoElite Multidebrider Platform is a product of Olympus (Tokyo, Japan).

“With reduced procedure times and the potential to decrease pain and shorten healing periods, innovations like the Olympus Diego ELITE Multidebrider allow us to further our commitment to providing premier care, while supporting our customers achieve the clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness required under Accountable Care,” said Luke Calcraft, president of the medical systems group at Olympus Corporation of the Americas.

“Never have I had so many options with one device,” said Prof. Alexander Chiu, MD, chief of the division of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Arizona (Tucson, USA). “The Olympus Diego ELITE Multidebrider is ideal for all types of sinus and endoscopic skull base surgery. Its versatility enables more efficient and safer procedures, reducing the need for instrument exchanges and allowing me to get to the source of bleeding instantly.”
