According to Dr. Jung Joo Lee, LivsMed Inc. founder and CEO, “ArtiSeal—as the world’s first 90° double-jointed articulating vessel sealer—will give surgeons unprecedented access to targeted vessels and tissue bundles and the ability to achieve a true perpendicular seal.” Pre-existing studies show that perpendicular seals on tissue bundles may provide a higher burst pressure compared to angled seals created by existing straight vessel sealers.

Indicated for minimally invasive or open general procedures, ArtiSeal can be used on arteries and tissue bundles up to and including those 7mm in size.

Lee further stated, “The launch of ArtiSeal is another example of LivsMed’s commitment on delivering disruptive technologies to a market that has lacked major laparoscopic surgical advances in recent years.”

Demonstrations will take place at LivsMed’s SAGES Booth #752.

Multiple Features Allow Perpendicular Sealing
As with all LivsMed instruments, ArtiSeal features 90° articulation of the instrument’s end effector. The end effector moves in perfect synchronization with the surgeon’s natural wrist and hand movements as conveyed through the device’s ergonomic grip. This articulation, the instrument’s double-jointed jaw, locking mechanism, and RF energy combine, providing the desired perpendicular seal.

ArtiSeal’s advanced bipolar design is a proven safe and effective modality for sealing vessels and tissue bundles. The energy is delivered between the instrument’s jaws with minimal thermal spread on targeted tissue. This allows precise and safe sealing in difficult to reach tissue. The System includes a dedicated RF generator which is software upgradable, for ongoing, built-in safety features.

The Latest Addition to a Comprehensive Line
ArtiSeal is the latest addition to LivsMed’s family of products, which includes the highly regarded ArtiSential™ line of single-use laparoscopic instruments. ArtiSential offers the precision of Robotic surgical platforms without the high cost. Its double-jointed end effectors allow various angles of approach with a full range of motion, even in difficult-to-reach spaces. This increased access to a variety of anatomical structures overcomes the limitations of straight stick instruments. Additionally, ArtiSential provides tactile feedback, allowing surgeons to apply the right pressure to delicate tissue.
