When compared to most popular competitive 5mm trocars, ENDOPATH® XCEL™ with OPTIVIEW® Technology was shown to be the most effective at reducing smudging during endoscope reinsertion.**ĮNDOPATH® XCEL™ with OPTIVIEW® Technology will be featured at EES' booth (#406) at the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) 28th Annual Meeting in Orlando, June 12-17, 2011. The new addition to the leading brand of trocars on the market, the 5mm ENDOPATH® XCEL™ with OPTIVIEW® Technology reduces the need to re-clean the endoscope when it is reinserted into the trocar after cleaning, resulting in fewer interruptions* that may lead to maintained procedural flow.ĮES' OPTIVIEW® Technology cleans bodily fluid off the endoscope, wicks it away and absorbs it – thus minimizing the presence of bodily fluid, tissue and debris within the seal system and on the scope lens when reinserted through the trocar. This can cause interruptions in the procedure, as the instrument may need to be removed for cleaning and reinserted several times. Upon reinsertion of the scope, trapped fluids and debris in the trocar seals can be reapplied to the lens, impairing the surgical view. As the instrument is removed for cleaning, bodily fluids and debris from the camera shaft often remain trapped within the trocar's seal system. "It provides improved safety and reduces the constant need to clean and reinsert the laparoscope, which disrupts the flow of the procedure."ĭuring a procedure, bodily fluids and debris can smudge the endoscope lens, requiring periodic removal of the scope for cleaning. "This is the trocar I've been waiting for," said Ted Goldman, M.D., FACOG and practicing obstetrician/gynecologist in Huntington, New York. Developed in collaboration with surgeons worldwide, this innovative technology addresses the challenge of keeping the endoscope lens clean when re-inserted into the trocar during minimally invasive bariatric, colorectal, gynecologic, urologic or general surgical procedures. Innovative access solution results in fewer interruptions in minimally invasive procedures, may help maintain procedural flowĬincinnati, CT /PRNewswire/ - Ethicon Endo-Surgery (EES) today announced the launch of a new 5mm ENDOPATH® XCEL™ trocar enhanced with OPTIVIEW® Technology, the only trocar designed to mitigate smudging of the endoscope or laparoscope during surgical procedures.
