Prevention of laparoscopic surgical burns
Encision, Inc. has developed and patented a fail-safe technology called active electrode monitoring (AEM®), which makes laparoscopic surgery safer. The technology is delivered in the form of a new instrument fitted with a protective shield, which is continuously monitored during surgery. If a potentially dangerous level of electrosurgical energy is detected, the instrument sends a message to the generator and cuts power off to itself immediately.
Encision’s technology has been endorsed by multiple groups including the Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses, Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons, Baylor Medical Center, Mayo Clinic, Australia Health Department, and the OHIC Insurance Company.
