"Contract awards are important to our business," said
Jay Sullivan, Group Vice President,
Enterprise Solutions, Medical Systems Group, Olympus. "But even
more important is that the Provista awards create opportunities for
customers such as ASCs to access state-of-the-art equipment toward
improving patient care in a value-based framework. The ASC market
is important for healthcare providers and the communities they
serve, and we are focused on growing our presence there."
Olympus offers an array of energy options such as the
THUNDERBEAT hybrid energy devices portfolio that deliver ultrasonic
and bipolar energy simultaneously for tissue management, including
hemostatic cutting and dissection, in laparoscopic surgery and open
surgery. Olympus' POWERSEAL devices can be used in general surgery
and gynecological, colorectal, bariatric, urological, thoracic and
vascular surgical procedures.
The EPF-1 generator, with its accessories and ancillary
equipment, is intended for cutting and coagulation of tissue in
open, laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery and should only be used
by a qualified physician in an adequate medical environment.
Improper use or use of incompatible equipment with these generators
may lead to excessive or incorrect HF and cause thermal or other
injuries for the patient and/or operator.
All plugs must be securely inserted into the corresponding
sockets for proper use. Be aware that if the main plug is
accidentally disconnected during a procedure, the electrosurgical
generator immediately turns off and this may result in
complications for the patient should it occur during energy
delivery. Please refer to the instructions for use prior to
usage.
