Smith&Nephew公司设计出关节内窥镜操作的抽吸装置

 
一种新型抽吸装置被设计用于关节镜检查、关节微创外科手术，能够产生持续的压力，而且简便易用。

在任何关节镜操作程序中，都需要一种抽吸装置把无菌液体注入接受治疗的关节内。这种液体能够扩大关节区域，为手术医生创造工作空间。关节内的压力必须持续而且保持较高水平，以确保手术区域内的血流最小，为手术医生创造一个清洁的视野。Dyonics25泵就是一种可以产生持续压力和精确测量的设备。

该泵有两个传感器，配备一系列咬合管盒子，能够满足不同外科手术通量的需要。一种方案是双-区域“每日装管（day tubing）” 设计，适合每日举行多个手术的医疗中心。一个区域在手术日保持与泵相连接，另一个区域每次手术都进行更换，从而可以降低每次手术的成本。在装管当日，一个单向阀门可以防止液体从一个患者流向另外一个患者。

Dyonics 25是Smith&Nephew内窥镜(Andover, MA, USA)公司的产品，这是一家全球性医疗技术公司，其强项是整形外科产品。

Pump for Arthroscopic Use
 
A new pump designed for use during arthroscopy, minimally invasive surgery on joints, provides consistent pressure and is easy to use.

In any arthroscopic procedure, a pump controls the flow of sterile fluid into the joint being treated. This fluid distends the joint area, creating a work space for the surgeon. The pressure within the joint must be sustained and be high enough to minimize the blood flow into the area so the surgeon will have a clear field of view. The Dyonics 25 pump provides consistent pressure and accurate measurements.

The pump has twin transducers and features a variety of snap-in tube cartridges that provide various options, depending on the facility’s surgical volume. One option features a two-zone “day tubing” design, configured for centers that perform multiple procedures each day. One zone remains connected to the pump for the day, and the other is changed with each procedure, which lowers the cost per procedure. A one-way valve in the day tubing prevents fluid transfer from one patient to another.

The Dyonics 25 is the product of Smith & Nephew Endoscopy (Andover, MA, USA), a global medical technology business, specializing in orthopedics.
