Ethicon, part of J&J, obtained FDA 510(k) clearance to introduce its HARMONIC HD 1000i surgical shears for use in both open and laparoscopic procedures. It dissects, transects, and seals tissue, so that a separate dissector is **t necessary. The instrument is an all-in-one unit, the hand piece and tool integrated together and sounds like it’s completely disposable so ** additional cleaning and management is needed. Previous similar shears from Ethicon had a separate hand piece that could be used between different procedures.

“HARMONIC HD 1000i is the latest example of our commitment to developing meaningful in**vations that can help improve outcomes in critical, complex procedures,” in a statement said Grace Chung, Ethicon Vice President, Energy Global Strategic Marketing. “As we move toward the future, HARMONIC HD 1000i will serve as a platform for developing a portfolio of HARMONIC devices focused on trying to meet surgical needs through our in-depth k**wledge of tissue and energy sciences to enable surgeons to reach more patients and restore more lives.”
