New at the 15th International Society of Laproendoscopic Surgeons Congress and
Endo Expo 2006 September 6 - 9, 2006 The Westin Hotel Copley Place Boston Booth # 146
Debut of New Christoudias Laparospcopic Dissection System
provides safe and effective dissection of even the most delicate tissues
with minimal instrument exchange and less operative time
What: First look at the Christoudias Laparoscopic Dissection System, the innovative instrument patented by surgeon Dr. George C. Christoudias that delivers multiple
capabilities with one-handed operation for safe and effective laparoscopic dissection:
• Atraumatic blunt dissection
• Atraumatic retraction
• Irrigation and suction
• Tissue sponge
• Hand-controlled electrocautery
• Simultaneous smoke evacuation
Why: The ready-availability of all these functions in an integrated system results
in less operative time, eliminating the need for repeated instrument exchanges,
even in difficult cases such as cholecystectomy in patients with acute cholecystitis.
Easier dissection in difficult situations may mean less conversions
to open procedures
The patented dissection element of the system delivers safe and effective
tissue separation similar to peanut or pledget dissection in open surgery
The ergonomic integration of the system elements reduces hand fatigue
The integrated system can be used through standard trocars – no need
for specialized access devices.
System elements can be used as an integrated surgical tool or
as individual components
• Clear field visualization with simultaneous smoke evacuation during
electro-coagulation
Where: Booth #146 SLS Endo Expo Westin Hotel, Copley Place, Boston
