In the fast-paced and high-pressure operating room (OR) environment, efficiency and patient safety are paramount. Sharp Fluidics, a leading provider of innovative surgical solutions, offers a range of products designed to improve the safety and efficiency of surgical workflows. Let’s explore how Sharp Fluidics’ NeoClose robotic, laparoscopic closure system and Operative Armour suture needle management system enhance OR efficiency and benefit medical professionals.
NeoClose: Streamlining Port Site Fascial Closure
NeoClose, an advanced closure system, revolutionizes the port site fascial closure process with its unique anchor technology. By delivering absorbable anchors pre-attached to absorbable sutures through transparent guides, NeoClose eliminates the need to search for sutures by ensuring a quick and straightforward closure process.
Simplified and Efficient Closure Process
The innovative anchor technology of NeoClose streamlines the closure process by approximating the tissue and providing secure fascial closure without nerve entrapment. NeoClose is faster, safer, and minimizes patient port site pain compared to traditional looped sutures.
Reduced Tension and Peritoneum Discomfort
Unlike closed-loop closures, NeoClose exerts less tension on the peritoneum, reducing patient pain and discomfort. The system’s ability to provide closure with up to 75% less tension on the tissue enhances patient comfort and contributes to a smoother recovery process.
Enhanced Safety and Cost-effectiveness
NeoClose offers both clinical and economic advantages. The system reduces procedural complexity and associated costs by eliminating the need for additional suturing tools. Furthermore, the secure fascial closure achieved by NeoClose helps minimize the risk of complications, ensuring patient safety.
NeoClose AnchorGuard: Safe and Efficient Port Site Closure
Sharp Fluidics’ NeoClose AnchorGuard takes port site closure to the next level by providing a shielded closure option after the patient’s safe exhaustion of insufflation. This unique closure system offers several benefits, improving OR efficiency and patient safety.
Gas Insufflation Control
NeoClose AnchorGuard effectively seals port sites, preventing escaping insufflation gas and reducing the potential for aerosolized virus transmission. By minimizing the risk of gas leakage, the system enhances the overall safety of the OR environment.
Secure Fascial Closure
Like the NeoClose system, NeoClose AnchorGuard ensures secure fascial closure with reduced tension on the tissue. The safe delivery of NeoClose anchors through the fascia improves closure outcomes, minimizing the risk of complications associated with traditional closure methods.
Operative Armour: Empowering Surgical Incision Closure
Operative Armour, another cutting-edge solution from Sharp Fluidics, enables clinicians to close surgical incisions efficiently and safely, even without scrub tech assistance. This unique system
enhances OR efficiency by streamlining the closure process.
Needle Trap: Standardized Safety and Efficiency
The Operative Armour Needle Trap helps to safely secure each suture needle at the point of use in the surgical field. By eliminating the contaminated needlestick hazard, it enhances safety while optimizing the efficiency of subsequent needle passage and handling.
Barrier Kit: Reduced Closure Time
The Barrier Kit reduces closure time in the OR. It combines the benefits of the Needle Trap with an ergonomic placement, enabling clinicians to maintain their sight on the surgical field. This liberates the scrub tech from the responsibility of needle counts and initiates the OR breakdown process, ultimately saving valuable time.
Mini-Mount: Handheld Convenience
The Operative Armour Mini-Mount Kit dispenses and secures suture needles from the near surgical field. With its magnetic fastener, the Mini-Mount can be easily attached directly to the drape, providing convenience and accessibility during closure.
Sharp Fluidics’ NeoClose and Operative Armour technologies represent significant advancements in improving OR efficiency and enhancing patient safety. By simplifying and optimizing closure processes, reducing tension, and providing standardized safety measures, these innovative solutions benefit medical professionals by streamlining workflows and enhancing overall patient care. With the integration of Sharp Fluidics’ products, surgical teams can achieve greater efficiency and better patient outcomes in the dynamic environment of the operating room.
