CareFusion has announced it has launched the Snowden-Pencer laparoscopic take-apart instrument line, according to a news release.
It is a portfolio of surgical instruments that CareFusion says can be easily disassembled to help ensure cleaning and sterilization. The instrument features three components that can be assembled and disassembled, and both audible and visual cues to help ensure it has been properly and securely assembled.
"Our new take-apart laparoscopic instruments can help support safer cleaning protocols for reusable medical equipment, at a potential cost savings compared to disposable instruments," said Jim Leitl, vice president and general manager of the medical specialties business of CareFusion, in the release. "This addition to our market-leading surgical portfolio introduces unique product features not previously seen in the market that will help improve the usability, versatility and comfort of this category of laparoscopic instruments."
The instruments will be debuted at the 59th annual Association of periOperative Registered Nurses Congress.
