The next-generation Eikon LT platform addresses key safety priorities for hospitals and health systems. As the numbers of minimally invasive surgeries rise, electrosurgical devices have shown to be potential sources of thermal burns and operating room fires. In response to hospital initiatives focused on ensuring safety during minimally invasive surgeries,
Forty percent lighter than traditional retractors, Eikon LT also helps reduce fatigue and improves efficiency for surgeons operating through deep, dark cavities while using smaller incisions. Additional enhancements to the blade and tip further enable surgeons to optimize clinical and cosmetic outcomes in minimally invasive procedures – including Hidden Scar™ Breast Cancer Surgery. The device's smooth edges reduce tissue trauma and allow for easy maneuverability, while flexibility in the blade puts less tension, stress and trauma on the breast flap to maintain flap viability and integrity.
'The Eikon LT's lightweight design and flexible blade enable me to operate more efficiently, and improve breast flap viability without the worry of burn injury,' said
Eikon LT accommodates multiple hand positions for various hand sizes, and offers an improved ergonomic design that reduces surgeon fatigue. Grooves in the handle and thumb slots provide for a comfortable grip that also prevents hand slippage, further improving the surgeon's precision. To accommodate physician preferences and varying patient anatomies, the Eikon LT is available in multiple sizes, with eight retractors in the system ranging from 40mm to 175mm.
'We're continually looking for innovative ways to address real-world needs for healthcare providers and to drive clinical improvements in minimal access surgery,' said
The Eikon LT illuminated retractor system is commercially available beginning today. For more information, please visit booth #1235 at ACS 2015 or www.invuity.com/products/retractors.
