Ethicon Releases PROXISURE Advanced Laparoscopic Suturing Device
https://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/PROXISURE.jpg
Ethicon, part of Johnson and Johnson,*is releasing in the U.S. its new flagship laparoscopic suturing device, the PROXISURE. It features the use of curved needles that come inside of single-use cartridges which slip onto the tip of the main device. The tip itself moves in all kinds of ways, articulating 45° in both directions and rotating 360°, all using mechanical operation. The shaft through which the tip is manipulated works through a 12 mm trocar.
Having a curved tip allows the PROXISURE to work well on flat tissues, the needle naturally extending into the tissue as it spins around the device’s tip.
The device itself, though reusable,*has a limited life and has to eventually be replaced.*The cartridges come with either Coated VICRYL or ETHIBOND sutures.
Here’s an Ethicon promo video for the PROXISURE:
