KARL STORZ RECEIVES INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY DESIGNATION FROM VIZIENT FOR TIPCAM1 RUBINA WITH ARTIP SOLO ROBOTIC ASSISTANCE

Designation acknowledges Vizient-contracted merchandise that deliver enhancements to healthcare trade

KARL STORZ Endoscopy-America, Inc., proudly publicizes its TIPCAM®1 Rubina® with ARTip® SOLO robotic help has acquired an Innovative Technology designation from Vizient, Inc., the most important healthcare efficiency enchancment firm within the nation. KARL STORZ exhibited TIPCAM1 Rubina with ARTip SOLO on the Vizient Innovative Technology Exchange on Oct. 17 in Dallas, Texas.

Each yr, healthcare consultants serving on Vizient member-led councils overview choose merchandise and applied sciences for his or her potential to reinforce medical care, affected person security, and healthcare employee security or to enhance enterprise operations of healthcare organizations. Innovative Technology designations are awarded to beforehand contracted merchandise to sign healthcare suppliers that these improvements can have a optimistic affect on affected person care and enterprise fashions.

TIPCAM1 Rubina is the one superior endoscopic resolution available on the market that offers surgeons entry to probably the most refined visualization applied sciences of 4K imaging in 2D, 3D, and near-infrared imaging of indocyanine inexperienced (NIR/ICG), all-in-one video endoscope utilizing ONE system, the KARL STORZ IMAGE1™ S. The ARTip SOLO robotic digital camera steering system, paired with the TIPCAM1 Rubina, permits the working surgeon to keep up stability and exact management of the sphere of view. This improves the setting to coach surgeons on technical expertise, enabling them to function alone—which may enhance effectivity, thereby reducing general prices. It additionally gives best ergonomics, particularly in lengthy procedures (Hollander et al. 2019).

Advanced applied sciences akin to 4K 3D and 4K NIR/ICG present the flexibility to visualise essential particulars throughout surgical procedure typically leading to improved security and outcomes. According to The European Association of Endoscopic Surgery (EAES) consensus printed in 2019 by Arezzo et al., 3D imaging was related to a major discount in process completion time in 63.8% of reviews whereas 62.2% of reviews noticed a major discount in errors. Similarly, procedures together with laparoscopic suturing resulted in 15-minute discount in operative time utilizing 3D imaging versus 2D, a clinically related discovering. NIR/ICG can scale back complication charges by way of evaluation of blood stream and visualization of essential anatomy (van den Bos et al. 2018).

Due to the complexities in surgical procedure, gaining access to completely different instruments can provide a surgeon confidence to correctly assess and create a protected surgical plan. The distinctive mixture of the TIPCAM1 Rubina and ARTip SOLO permits hospitals to bridge the hole between robotics and laparoscopy by recreating a robotic expertise, incorporating superior applied sciences that ship worth with out the massive capital expense.

“KARL STORZ is committed to delivering quality products to allow for optimal surgical flow and advanced patient care. Desirable patient outcomes and improved surgeon ergonomics and autonomy, along with ease of setup enhancing operating room workflow, are just a few of the benefits offered by this innovative endoscopic solution,” mentioned Aarathi Cholkeri-Singh, MD, Medical Director at KARL STORZ Endoscopy-America, Inc. “The advancement in imaging with streamlined robotic assistance allows for use across multiple surgical specialties, in both hospital and ambulatory care settings in rural and urban patient populations, providing equitable access to health care.”

“Healthcare experts on Vizient member councils evaluated TIPCAM1 Rubina with ARTip SOLO robotic assistance as part of the Innovative Technology Program,” mentioned Kelly Flaharty, Vizient Senior Director of Contract Services. “This designation indicates TIPCAM1 Rubina with ARTip SOLO robotic assistance has one or more qualities that differentiate it from similar products and has potential to make an incremental improvement in healthcare. Congratulations to KARL STORZ.”
