Getinge this week announced a major FDA clearance and the beginning of a U.S. launch of multiple surgical tools.
The Gothenburg, Sweden-based company won 510(k) clearance for its Vasoview Hemopro 3. This adds to the company’s portfolio of endoscopic vessel harvesting (EVH) solutions.
Getinge said it designed the system with customer centricity top-of-mind. It hopes to offer enhanced procedural efficiency with the upcoming launch of this product, according to a news release. The company anticipates a U.S. launch in the third quarter of 2024. Submissions for approval in other key markets remains in progress.
Advanced features include enhanced smoke evacuation, regulated energy control, ergonomic game controller-style handle and an integrated cable.
“EVH is a therapy significantly helping patients towards faster recovery by minimizing surgical trauma and reducing post-operative pain. By offering solutions together with extensive training, we aim to continue help facilitating the widespread adoption of this essential therapy. The new generation of Vasoview – Hemopro 3 – symbolizes our dedication to elevating healthcare standards together with our customers,” said Elin Frostehav, president of acute care therapies at Getinge.
Getinge also has another launch underway already
The company also launched its Maquet Corin OR table and Ezea surgical light for streamlining workflows within surgical departments.
Maquet Corin OR, a smart, mobile surgical table, incorporates advanced feedback lighting and intuitive controls. It also features collusion detection, overload detection and tipping prevention. These elements enhance safety for both patients and the OR staff.
Additionally, customizable user sequences and preset surgical positions support higher levels of flexibility and efficiency in patient positioning.
Getinge said it wanted to address challenges in OR management and allow physicians to turn their full attention to patient care.
“As surgical techniques continue to evolve and the demand for enhanced safety and efficiency grows, Getinge remains committed to its mission of delivering impactful solutions with the highest levels of support for surgeons and operating room staff,” said Don McAllister, VP of U.S. surgical workflows and infection control sales and North America service at Getinge. “The Corin OR table and Ezea surgical light are the newest examples of our continued dedication to providing our customers with innovative solutions that can streamline workflows.”
