Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally Invasive or "Laparoscopic" surgery is a specialized technique for performing surgical operations using small incisions. During surgery, one or more small incisions may be made in the body. A thin, tube-like instrument called a laparoscope is inserted through one opening to guide the surgery.
Tiny surgical instruments are inserted through other openings to do the surgery. Minimally invasive surgery may cause less pain, scarring, and damage to healthy tissue, and the patient may have a faster recovery than with traditional surgery.
Seido II Significance
Seido means precision in Japanese while II represents the second wave of innovation in surgical instrumentation; the juxtaposition of beauty and precision encompases the meaning of Seido II. The goal was to deliver a revolutionary laparoscopic instrument emphasizing user experience and enhanced functionality to deliver improved patient outcome.
Global Demand
The number of patients with diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is increasing at a significant rate across the world. This is increasing the demand for minimally invasive procedures. Thus, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases will drive the growth of the laparoscopic ablation market.
Precision and Balance
The number one requirement of Seido II was precision, it was considered carefully during design process. The goal was to reduce device complexity and improve the reliability and overall performance. Keeping this in mind Seido II's internal mechanisms would be machined from Ti Gr.23 for its corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. While the exterior handle shell would be an injection molded polyetheretherketone also known as PEEK which is a thermoplastic with extraordinary mechanical properties, wear resistance, and good dielectric strength.
Multi-Use Handle
Seido II multi-use handle was designed to accommodate a variety of surgeon hand sizes, offer a textured surface for better grip and weight balanced for greater stability while minimizing fatigue. The choice material properties and mechanical construction has been enhanced which will extend product life resulting in significant cost efficiencies.
Illuminating Features
With focus placed on surgeon comfort and ease of use I developed some unique solutions like the enhanced locking mechanisms on the grip body, improved ergonomic function of the handle, simplified body design, and a easy to use features allowing the surgeon to make more rapid instrument changes if necessary during operation.
Laparoscopic surgical tools
Many styles of drivers are available and selection largely depends on surgeon’s preference. Most laparoscopic instruments offer only four degrees of freedom of movement: in/out, up/down, left/right and rotation. In addition, certain articulating instruments offer angulation at their tips, which can be particularly useful in achieving triangulation while performing single-incision laparoscopy.
