New Surgical Instruments Streamline Procedures

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 02 Apr 2010
Four new surgical instruments help surgeons reduce procedure duration and risk in the operating room (OR).

The Secure-Cut reposable scissors are composed of a cost effective, reusable, carbon fiber handle with a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) shaft and "always sharp" single use scissor tips. More...
The scissors include a secure connection made of stainless steel threading that ensures a robust, lasting connection, and protective PEEK insulation that prevents arcing.

The newly improved LumbarTrak retractor system incorporates enhancements to the titanium frame and blades that provide unparalleled strength, helping surgeons establish prompt and lasting exposure and enhanced visualization of the surgical site in lumbar spine procedures. The blades are available in various lengths for larger patients, color-coded for easy identification by the surgical staff, and come in three widths for multiple procedure options. Long connectors are available to attach multiple blades to the retractor system.

The Ruggles bayonet curettes allow spine surgeons to see the operative field more clearly by providing an offset handle, and finally, the Jarit disposable bipolar forceps deliver gentle coagulation between the highly polished instrument tips to minimize coagulum adhesion. All four products are developments of Integra Surgical (Plainsboro, NJ, USA).

"We realize that minutes matter in the operating room, and that the busiest surgeons expect us to help them minimize uncertainty within their procedures,” said Dan Reuvers, vice president of marketing and product development at Integra Surgical. "Each of these new instruments is designed to provide surgeons with added confidence, ensuring they have the most dependable tools available.”
