Minimal access surgery relies heavily on technology. In many procedures, monopolar and bipolar cautery alone are insufficient for hemostasis, necessitating the use of advanced energy devices. The Versius surgical system (CMR Surgical) was at a disadvantage due to its lack of these capabilities.
Now the company has announced the Ultrasonic Dissector is already available and CE marked. The Ultrasonic Dissector is the first instrument in the advanced energy instrument range to be introduced by CMR. It was developed to deliver ultrasonic energy via a torsional design, and can seal vessels up to 5 mm in diameter, with a mean burst pressure of 908 mmHg,– 7.5x that of normal systolic blood pressure. The Ultrasonic Dissector promotes haemostatic coagulation and simultaneous cutting with multiple, surgeon-selectable modes to suit each procedural need, supporting surgeons through more complex surgical procedures.
It completes the instrument portfolio, and is part of the Versius Plus offering, designed to facilitate advanced surgical procedures across all specialities. It includes an expanded instrument portfolio, improved console, advanced digital insights, and vLimeLite our fluorescent imaging system for the visualisation of ICG.
Now remote access neck procedures are closer to feasibility with the Versius Surgical System.
