CareFusion V. Mueller and Snowden-Pencer surgical instruments vice president and general manager Andreas Lex said that with the trend of miniaturizing surgical procedures, the CareFusion MicroLap line of instruments offers the advantages of smaller incisions with high-quality instrument performance.
"Smaller incisions provide the benefit of less patient discomfort and less scarring than with traditional 5mm or 10mm laparoscopic procedures," Lex added.
The company claims that the new full line enables surgeons to use the CareFusion MicroLap line for any type of laparoscopic surgery, with no limitations on specialty or procedural uses.
In addition, the new line offers a wide variety of jaw patterns and handle types, so surgeons don’t have to compromise choice when switching to the CareFusion MicroLap line.
Manufactured by Gimmi, CareFusion is the sole US distributor for the new line of microlap instruments.
