Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of
medical devices for critical care, urology and surgery, will
showcase its innovative minimally invasive surgery (MIS)
instruments at the 2nd Congress of Society of Endometriosis and
Uterine Disorders (SEUD) to be held in Barcelona, Spain on May
12-14, 2016.
During the event, Teleflex will present its percutaneous
surgical solutions, including the Percuvance® and MiniLap®
Percutaneous Surgical Systems as well as its diversified range of
Weck® and Pilling Surgical Instruments.
The Percuvance® System from Teleflex, which has recently
received CE Mark approval, represents a significant advance in
minimally invasive surgery.
Procedures using the Percuvance® System make minimally invasive
surgery even less invasive than traditional laparoscopic procedures
through much smaller incisions resulting in less trauma, leaving
nearly unnoticeable scars. At the same time, surgeons benefit from
all the performance and functionality of traditional laparoscopic
instruments but require fewer trocars.
The basis of the system is a 2.9 mm diameter shaft that, when
connected to an introducer tool tip, can be inserted directly
through a small incision in the skin without an insertion trocar.
The introducer tool tip can then be exchanged outside the body for
a wide variety of 5 mm interchangeable surgical tool tips. The
shaft is sufficiently strong to hold structures, and surgeons can
use its interchangeable tool tips to grasp, cut and manipulate
tissue.
MiniLap® Instruments, with their slim 2.3 mm shaft diameters,
can be percutaneously inserted using an integrated needle tip. The
grasper jaws or probe can then be deployed to grasp or coagulate
tissue. The patented deployment design allows grasper jaws to open
up to 12.5 mm to grasp difficult structures.
The SEUD Congress will feature live surgery using the
Percuvance® System: The session, “Hysterectomy with percutaneous
instruments” will be performed by Dr. Cristiano Rossitto from Italy
on Thursday, May 12, 2016, at 09:00 a.m.
