To fulfill the high product demand of the market, multiple companies are exposing their medical products to consumers. Among these products, some have been attracting the attention of healthcare providers for long now. However, others are the ones that have been recently designed and perfected followed by marketing. These latest innovations, on the one hand, keep the market competitive while assisting in the conduction of complex medical and surgical procedures. One such company is Medtronic which keeps a futuristic vision of introducing novel medical products with top-notch quality. Here is a compilation of some of the most notable products introduced in the market by the company.

Mazor X stealth edition

Mazor X is a system designed to combine surgical planning software and the robotic guidance platform. With features like 3D analytics, optimal implant trajectory, and customizable implant selection, it enables the surgeon to perform surgeries more efficiently as the robotic guidance system does not deviate from its guided path. This eliminates the chances of losing control over the system and causing any unintentional damage.

LigaSure vessel sealing system

During laparoscopic surgeries, in particular, there is a need to cut and seal the blood vessels in order to restrict the flow of blood toward certain body parts. For this purpose, vessel sealing systems are employed. LigaSure is one such system. Medtronic has these devices in different sizes and varying jaw shapes. The best-suited LigaSure device can be chosen from this wide variety based on the type of surgery to be conducted.

Sonicision curved jaw ultrasonic device

Sonicision curved jaw ultrasonic device is also among the newer products being marketed by Medtronic. It is a portable, cordless device that is employed to coagulate blood vessels. It is highly efficient in its job owing to its 7 mm vessel coagulation capacity along with a dual-mode energy activation system.

Emprint ablation technology

While performing liver surgery, the goal is to keep the maximum parenchyma intact. For this purpose, the physician removes non-resectable liver tumors. For this purpose, emprint ablation technology can be put to use. This system enables physicians to conduct minimally invasive procedures. Medtronic offers ablation platforms, navigation antennas, generators, electrodes, and other accessories all of which connect well and perform their job with great efficiency.

TruClear system

The TruClear system by Medtronic is a hysteroscope i.e. a visualization device employed to analyze the uterine cavity. In addition, the device has also been designed in a way that taking tissue samples via it is possible. Its tissue shavers are so well-developed that they can go deep into the uterus to collect samples from cornua as well as the fundal wall. A prominent operative field is also provided by this system as it clears out any floating tissues.

Vanta neurostimulator

Vanta neurostimulator by Medtronic is a device that helps in the management of pain. These 5.5 to 7.5 years estimated recharge-free period containing technology significantly improves the patient’s quality of life by rendering an MRI quick and easy. Due to its easy access owing to its compact design, it can take scans of any body part.

Carpediem cardio-renal pediatric dialysis system

The carpediem system by Medtronic is a machine which is designed to provide continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in pediatric patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). It is also efficient in the management of fluid overload (FO) pediatric patients whose weight ranges between 2.5 to 10 kg. Due to its miniature size, this highly precise device aids fragile patients with severe kidney disorders. Its success is reflected in its 97% survival rate once the treatment is completed.

Cardiac resynchronizing defibrillators

A cardiac resynchronizing defibrillator by Medtronic is an app-based medical device that is employed to improve and resynchronize the heart rhythm. As the device has an automated ATP algorithm, it is fully equipped to manage atrial fibrillation. Moreover, the system is compact and handy. Its portability renders it even more convenient to use in healthcare setups.

Capnostream respiratory monitor

A capnostream respiratory monitor is a portable device that measures the estimated oxygen as well as carbon dioxide levels in a patient. It works non-invasively and measures the pulse rate as well. In short, the system is designed to give quick and easy access to a patient’s respiratory status. This way, any respiratory irregularity can be detected and treated earlier. The Capnostream system works best with sedated as well as conscious patients.

Valleylab smoke evacuation system

The Valleylab smoke evacuation pencil system is a sleek device that is used by surgeons to remove smoke from the surgical site. In order to enhance visibility, the pencil-shaped device is affixed with a telescoping cannula. Due to being compact and lightweight, the device can be used easily. A button switch has been attached to the device to control its working.

Conclusion

Several healthcare companies are putting money into their research and development with the aim to design newer products with enhanced efficiency. The latest innovations introduced in the market by Medtronic have also grabbed the attention of many healthcare setups. The problem-solving approach of the company has led to products with improved designs and better efficiency. Moreover, the latest products are also energy-efficient as well as more on the cheaper side as compared to previously used devices. Furthermore, the novel property of being recharge-free renders the devices a physician’s first preference.
