Avanca公司将专业注射器进行了商品化

一系列设计用于介入专业手术新型注射器允许医生在用一只手注射和吸取的同时保持针头稳定性。

这些注射器有着广泛的应用领域，叫做Procedur-10和Procedur-SF，在外科手术中使用交互技术从而允许同时注射和吸取液体或者组织。特殊应用包括影像介导的手术比如活检和羊膜穿刺术。在临床试验中，使用这种注射器减轻了患者疼痛、减少了手术时间而且提高了满意度。这种系列的注射器是由Wilmer L. Sibbitt医生发明的，他是新墨西哥大学健康科学中心(Albuquerque, USA)内科学教授。

该系列的注射器由Avanca医学设备公司(Albuquerque, NM, USA)进行商品化的，该公司从新墨西哥大学的科学与技术公司获得了与Procedur系列注射器相关的知识产权。

Avanca主席兼首席安全官Sibbitt医生说：“介入放射学、妇产科学、产前诊断、麻醉学以及外科学从Procedur产品获益的产品总数字是巨大的，预示着广泛的市场前景。”
 
Specialty Syringes Aid Surgeons
 
A new family of syringes designed for interventional specialty procedures allow doctors to inject and aspirate with one hand while maintaining needle stability.

There are extensive applications for the syringes, called Procedur-10 and Procedur-SF, in surgical procedures using reciprocal technology that allows the injection and withdrawal of fluids or tissues simultaneously. Specific applications include image-guided procedures such as biopsies and amniocentesis. In clinical trials, use of the syringes resulted in less patient pain, reduced procedure time, and improved provider satisfaction. The family of syringes was invented by Wilmer L. Sibbitt, Jr., M.D., professor of internal medicine at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (Albuquerque, USA).

The syringes are being commercialized by Avanca Medical Devices (Albuquerque, NM, USA), which has licensed the intellectual property related to the Procedur family of syringes from the Science and Technology Corp. at the University of New Mexico.

“The total number of products that can benefit from the Procedur devices in interventional radiology, gynecology, prenatal diagnosis, anesthesiology, and surgery is enormous and indicates great market potential,” said Dr. Sibbitt, who is also chairman and CSO of Avanca.
