Minimally invasive surgery offers many benefits for the patient but also creates new challenges for surgeons, who no longer have direct visual access to the organs, and the use of long instruments through small incisions increases complexity. Robotics technology is increasingly used in endoscopy, allowing surgeons to perform certain movements, which are not possible with conventional laparoscopic instrumentation, thanks to additional degrees of freedom at the instrument tip. After studying the needs of surgeons in terms of laparoscopic instrumentation, three characteristics appeared necessary: an instrument shaft diameter of 5 mm, bending of the instrument’s distal end and unlimited axial rotation of its effector end. The JAiMY motorised articulating robotic laparoscopic instrument passes through a 5mm cannula, enabling surgeons to overcome the unique challenges presented by laparoscopic suturing. It provides intelligent dexterity with seven degrees of freedom for easier access, increased triangulation and improved ergonomics even in the most challenging cases. Reusable and sterilisable for improved economics and cost containment, the instrument will facilitate a wide variety of surgical procedures in different clinical specialties, including urology, bariatric surgery, general surgery, gynaecology and cardiothoracic surgery.

The RVTM3 vacuum regulator is used to measure and adjust the vacuum level within the context of medical suctions. It enables to drain substances out of the patient’s body during surgical procedures. The digital RVTM3 keeps the same technical features of robustness, ergonomics, safety and hygiene as the analogue RVTM3 model. In addition to this, it provides better shock resistance, a greater precision of setting of the vacuum (

The Amsco V-PRO maX low temperature sterilisation system offers a new flexible cycle of approximately 35 minutes, a non lumen cycle of approximately 28 minutes and a lumen cycle of approximately 55 minutes. The easy-to-use options allow workflows to be tailored to instrument loads, optimising turnaround times. The system offers efficient, high volume processing of packaged, heat-sensitive and moisture-sensitive instruments. It has the same environmentally responsible operating benefits as its predecessor, and uses the same compact VAPROX HC sterilant to provide up to 15 cycles per container with biodegradable by-products.

The NeuroSENSE NS-701 Monitor is a bilateral brain monitor designed with independent indexes for each brain hemisphere, which measure anesthetic effects on the brain and respond instantaneously to changes in patient state. Physicians in the OR and ICU can now monitor bilateral anesthesia/sedation measures of brain activity. Unlike single brain activity measures derived from one or both hemispheres, independent bilateral indexes allow clinicians to spot any hemispheric discrepancies due to underlying pathologies or unrecognized artefacts. This added insight into the patient’s brain assists anesthesia providers to make optimal decisions for improved and safer patient care.
