Great ideas for your OR


Disposable Bronchoscope Keeps Airways Clear
Physicians must work with high-quality imaging to effectively manage patients’ airways. Boston Scientific’s Exalt Model B Bronchoscope — available in slim, regular and large sizes — features dynamic light control and bright LEDs at the tip to help physicians navigate through the tight anatomy and optimize the quality of captured video and pictures, both of which are displayed on a portable high-resolution monitor. The scope boasts powerful suction and precise control with 180º tip articulation. This single-use device eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and the need to allocate resources and staffing hours to between-use reprocessing.

Versatile and Ergonomic Vessel Sealing
The new Powerseal line of advanced bipolar energy devices from Olympus provides consistent and strong sealing of vessels up to 7 mm in diameter, as well as dissection and grasping capabilities with fast cool-down times and low exterior jaw temperatures to minimize thermal spread. An easy-grip design and easy-to-reach shaft rotation wheel are ergonomic features that reduce the amount of force needed to close the jaws and limit hand strain. The multifunctional Powerseal devices are also designed to reduce instrument exchanges during laparoscopic or open surgery.

Smart Solution for Skin Safety
Encompass Group developed the Airisana support solution to prevent healthcare-acquired pressure injuries, which can be caused when a patient’s body adjusts to the same pressure pattern of a surface. Airisana combines targeted air delivery and randomized pressure management programming to conform evenly to various body contours, ensure the greatest amount of contact with patients’ skin and create a constantly changing surface that reduces sustained pressure on a single part of the body. The device is easy to clean, lightweight and foldable, making it simple for staff to transport and store.
