LivsMed to Introduce World’s First 90˚ Articulating Vessel Sealer at Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeon Conference New System Provides Precise, Perpendicular Vessel Sealing and Cutting
San Diego, CA – LivsMed, a leader in minimally invasive surgical devices, will unveil its ArtiSeal™ Vessel Sealing System at this year’s Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) conference, beginning March 12th in Long Beach, California.
According to Dr. Jung Joo Lee, LivsMed Inc founder and CEO, “ArtiSeal—as the world’s first 90° double-jointed articulating vessel sealer—will give surgeons unprecedented access to targeted vessels and tissue bundles and the ability to achieve a true perpendicular seal.” Pre-existing studies show that perpendicular seals on tissue bundles may provide a higher burst pressure compared to angled seals created by existing straight vessel sealers.
Indicated for minimally invasive or open general surgical procedures, ArtiSeal can be used on arteries and tissue bundles up to and including those 7mm in size.
Lee further stated, “The launch of ArtiSeal is another example of LivsMed’s commitment on delivering disruptive technologies to a market that has lacked major laparoscopic surgical advances in recent years.”
Demonstrations of the new system will take place during exhibit hall hours at LivsMed’s SAGES Booth #752.
Multiple Features Combine to Allow Perpendicular Sealing
As with all LivsMed surgical instruments, ArtiSeal features 90° articulation of the instrument’s end effector. The end effector moves in perfect synchronization with the surgeon’s natural wrist and hand movements as conveyed through the device’s ergonomic grip. This articulation, the instrument’s double-jointed jaw, locking mechanism, and RF energy combine to provide the desired perpendicular seal.
ArtiSeal uses an advanced bipolar design which has proven to be a safe and effective modality of sealing vessels and tissue bundles. The energy is delivered between the jaws of the instrument with minimal thermal spread on targeted tissue. This allows for precise and safe sealing in difficult to reach tissue. The System includes a dedicated Radio Frequency generator which is software upgradable, allowing for ongoing built-in safety features.
The Latest Addition to a Comprehensive Product Line
The ArtiSealTM Vessel Sealing System is the latest addition to the LivsMed family of products which includes the highly regarded ArtiSentialTM instrument line of single-use laparoscopic instruments. ArtiSential offers the precision of Robotic surgical platforms without the high cost. Its double-jointed end effectors allow various angles of approach with a full range of motion, even in difficult-to-reach spaces. This increased access to a variety of anatomical structures overcomes the limitations of straight stick instruments. Additionally, it provides tactile feedback, allowing surgeons to apply the right pressure to delicate tissue.
