  • Surgical Site Infections (SSI) are the most common infections treated by spinal surgeons and are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, cost, and inferior outcomes. Rates of SSI vary based on the invasiveness of the procedure, underlying spinal pathology, and patient population. The rates of SSI are reported to be as low as 0.07% in patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, to 2.94% in posterior cervical surgery, 2.4% for spinal tumours, 8.8% in primary lumbar fusions, and 12.2% in revision lumbar fusions.[1]
FloraSeal®
  • Patients with deep infection after instrumented fusion had more back pain and were less likely to reach MCID (minimum clinically important difference) at 2 years compared with patients without infection.[2]
  • FloraSeal has been shown to trap and immobilise bacteria that may cause infection to the patient. It rapidly and powerfully kills gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.[3]
  • FloraSeal effectively reduces microbial colonisation within 15 minutes and maintains a low microbial colonisation throughout the 24 hours after application, has the same efficacy when being used with or without an antimicrobial surgical incise drape, and mitigates microorganisms more effectively than an antimicrobial surgical incise drape alone.[4]

SurgiSeal® Topical Skin Adhesive is a high purity, antimicrobial, liquid topical skin adhesive that can replace sutures for incision or laceration repair.

SurgiSeal® is the only topical skin adhesive in the world to receive FDA 510K Clearance in demonstrating inhibition of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria growth.[1]

SurgiSeal® provides the optimal balance between strength and flexibility. In replacing sutures for incision or laceration repair, it can save time, provide a flexible, water-resistant, protective coating, and eliminate the need for suture removal.

1. SurgiSeal IFU: Due to the anhydrous property of the SurgiSeal adhesive, gram+ and gram- bacteria which become incorporated within the adhesive upon application, are not expected to grow.

The Accurian™ Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) platform combines proprietary hardware design and quad core processing, resulting in sophisticated algorithms that manage power and control temperature during ablation surgery. The Accurian™ ablation therapy platform has been extensively tested for lasting reliability and is upgrade-ready for the future.

PROCEDURES

  • Cervical OA/Pain
  • Thoracic OA/Pain
  • Lumbar OA/Pain
  • Sacroiliac Joint OA/Pain
  • 53% less rise in temperature near critical structures, such as carotid sheath, compared to traditional electrosurgery[5]
  • Demonstrated equivalence in healed incision strength, inflammatory cell counts, and healed scar width, compared to scalpel[6,7,8]
  • Decreased thermal injury profile, as determined by the zone of thermal coagulation necrosis, suggests that the device may be used in closer proximity to adjacent critical structures with less risk of thermal injury[7]

  • The RadiaLux™ lighted retractor is a single-use retractor designed to provide surgeons with the ability to manipulate soft tissue through a combination of blades when assembled onto a retractor handle.
  • The retractor provides illumination to the surgical field independent of an external light source or fibre optic cables.
  • The lighted retractor is indicated for enhancing visibility to a surgical field through retraction of soft tissue and illumination of the surgical cavity.
