Precise Cryoablation System Galil Medical www.galilmedical.com (877) 639-2796 FYI: The Precise Cryoablation System lets urologists offer minimally invasive cryoablation treatment to prostate and kidney cancer patients. Precise features multi-point thermal sensors to record temperatures throughout the gland or tumor for a high level of procedure control. In addition, new i-Thaw technology eliminates the need for helium tanks for space and cost efficiency and supports the 17-gauge cryoablation needle family. Semi-Rigid Ureteroscope Karl Storz Endoscopy America www.karlstorz.com (800) 421-0837 FYI: The Semi-Rigid Ureteroscope provides small size without the compromise. Its 7Fr, atraumatic tip and smooth, tapered shaft let the scope be easily introduced into ureters, and its ergonomic, lightweight design provides comfortable handling. This dual-channel SRU incorporates both great image quality and functionality into a sleek, durable design. Thermal Ligating Shears Starion Instruments www.starioninstruments.com (800) STARION FYI: Starion’s third-generation Thermal Ligating Shears (TLS3) let you grasp and dissect soft tissue and, using proprietary tissue-welding technology, focus thermal energy to seal and divide tissue while minimizing collateral damage. Heating elements on both jaws create a more uniform, higher-integrity seal in less time. The TLS3 comes in 14cm, 23cm and 35cm lengths.
