Domain Surgical, Inc., a leading developer of advanced thermal
surgical technology, today announced that it has released a line of
stout surgical tips for its FMwand
Ferromagnetic Surgical System. As with all FMwand tools, the stout
surgical tips simultaneously cut and coagulate tissue without passing
electrical current into the patient, making them safe to use near
delicate tissue structures.
The new FMwand stout surgical tips, each with a robust wire core, were
designed specifically to enable surgeons to quickly and aggressively
dissect thick tissue, such as large muscles in the back. The new stout
surgical tips are available in either straight or curved shapes.
"Many surgeons have expressed the need for a hemostatic dissecting tool
capable of cutting through extremely thick tissue," said David McNally,
President and CEO of Domain Surgical. "The new stout surgical tips
combine rigid construction with the fast, advanced cutting and
coagulation characteristics of the FMwand. This combination of strength
and speed can be especially important in spine
surgeries, where surgeons often encounter thick tissue. This tool is
the latest of many planned additions to the FMwand surgical system."
Domain Surgical's FMwand product line is based upon patent-pending
thermal surgical technology, whereby a surgical implement can be rapidly
heated to consistently deliver pure thermal energy to cut and coagulate
soft tissue. When the heated implement contacts tissue, it imparts a
thermal effect on the surface of the tissue that has a very low depth of
penetration compared to most other surgical energy modalities. This
results in superior cutting and coagulation, with little risk of
unintentional injury to adjacent or deep tissue.
