Pioneering technology receives worldwide acclaim
mercredi, 16 septembre 2009
A world leading laparoscopic device, developed by Leeds- based surgical device designer and manufacturer Surgical Innovations, has been hailed by surgeons worldwide.
Logi Flex - a flexible laparoscopic device - which uses pioneering ‘flex technology’ to offer surgeons better rigidity during delicate surgical procedures was unveiled at the World congress of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO).
Specially developed in conjunction with laparoscopic surgeons who understand the needs of clinicians and patients, the Logi Flex uses innovative resposable technology to deliver the cost effectiveness of a reusable instrument with the optimum performance of a disposable.
The product, which offers a new way to fit gastric bands, was praised at the World congress of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) – one of the leading events of its type.
Graham Bowland, managing director of Surgical Innovations, said: “We are passionate about our products and have spent a long time liaising with laparoscopic surgeons to ensure that our advanced flex technology meets the needs of both clinicians and patients.
“In this current financial climate surgeons are looking for products which have enhanced performance capabilities but are cost effective and Surgical Innovations fit this market perfectly.
“The IFSO World Congress was the perfect platform for us to launch the Logi Flex and meet laparoscopic surgeons from around the world. We are delighted with the feedback we received and are looking forward to supplying hospitals around the world with our new device.”
The World Congress took place at the Palais des Congrès in Paris.
Attending the event on behalf of Surgical Innovations was one of the UK’s foremost laparoscopic surgeons and original co-founder of the company Professor M J McMahon.
Also in attendance were Chairman Doug Liversidge, Mr Bowland, technical director Mike White, designers Vhairi Maxwell and Chris Harrison, and marketing manager James Bowland.
