Description
3. Enhanced Visualization Technologies
- SPY Fluorescence Imaging: Utilizes Indocyanine Green (ICG) for fluorescence imaging, enabling surgeons to see beyond the visible spectrum to assess circulation, tumor perfusion, and the detailed structure of blood vessels and lymphatics. This technology has been validated in over 300 clinical studies to enhance visualization and potentially decrease the incidence of complications related to poor perfusion.
- IRIS (Intraoperative Real-time Imaging System): Specially designed lighted ureteric stents help to mitigate the risk of ureteric injuries during complex surgical procedures, promoting safer and more effective outcomes.
4. Application Across Surgical Specialties
- General Surgery: Enhances the detection of ureteral and bile duct injuries as well as anastomotic leaks through advanced NIR imaging techniques.
- Urology: Provides superior resolution that helps in distinguishing anatomical details in environments with poor visibility.
- Orthopedics: Specifically advantageous in improving lighting and visualization in the posterior compartments of the body, facilitating better fluid management and resection.
- Gynecology: Improves lighting in deep pelvic surgeries and reduces the risk of ureteral injuries with the use of IRIS.
- ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat): Enhances color reproduction and illumination within the cavernous sinus, aiding in more precise surgeries.
- Colorectal Surgery: Aims to reduce the incidence of ureteral injuries and anastomotic leaks, which are common complications in these procedures.
