Endo DBS 8.7 Flashcards
What is Endo DBS Shaft Length?
27.9 cm
What does Endo DBS enable?
Minimally invasive surgery
What procedures is it used in?
Aids in blunt dissection of liver, pancreas, and kidney parenchyma
What does the 8.7 mean?
8.7 mm between center of electrodes
What trocars is it compatible with?
12 mm port systems - specifically Ethicon Endosurgery XCEL, Covidien Versaport, Applied Medical Kii
What is first procedural step in liver case?
Score liver capsule with bovie or scalpel and then treat the resection plane and tumor bed,
How should blunt dissection be done with device?
Move the tips back and forth in a raking motion along the resection line while keeping the tips firmly pressed into tissue
How do you achieve hemostasis across broad surface areas?
For hemostasis across broad surface areas, turn the device over and use the back “knuckle” to treat. This will allow more surface area while keeping electrodes in contact with tissue.
What are the recommended setting in Liver procedures?
170 Watts, Medium Flow for Hepatic Resection
What are the recommended settings in Pancreas?
160 Watts, Medium Flow for Distal Pancreatectomy
What are the recommended setting in Kidney?
140 Watts, Low Flow for Partial Nephrectomy
What are treatment areas in Liver?
Laparoscopic liver resection plane and tumor bed
What are treatment areas in Pancreas?
Resection plane and distal stump
What are treatment areas in Kidney?
Resection plane and tumor bed
How should Endo DBS be positioned?
First endoscopic device in AQM platform, enables minimally invasive surgery while providing hemostasis and blunt dissection for liver, pancreas, and kidney surgery.
