CMR Surgical Launches Ultrasonic Dissector

CMR Surgical (CMR) has launched the Ultrasonic Dissector, a robotic advanced energy instrument delivering ultrasonic energy to cut and coagulate tissue, as part of its Versius Plus offering. 

The introduction of the Ultrasonic Dissector to the Versius instrument suite completes a series of product launches made as part of Versius Plus. The Ultrasonic Dissector is the first instrument in the advanced energy instrument range to be introduced by CMR.

The Ultrasonic Dissector was developed to deliver ultrasonic energy and with a torsional design. It can seal vessels up to 5 mm in diameter and features a mean burst pressure of 908 mmHg¹. The Ultrasonic Dissector promotes haemostatic coagulation and simultaneous cutting with multiple surgeon-selectable modes to suit each procedural need.

Michelle Paknad, President of Global Marketing & US Market Entry at CMR Surgical commented: “We’re excited to be bringing advanced energy, in the form of the Ultrasonic Dissector, to the Versius Plus offering. We have listened to the needs of our clinical partners, and I’m delighted that we have been able to develop a practical tool that provides the ability to cut and coagulate tissue through ultrasonic energy, enabling them to perform more complex surgical procedures with Versius and bring the benefits of robotic-assisted minimal access surgery to more patients.”

Versius Plus is designed to facilitate advanced surgical procedures across all specialties. It includes an expanded instrument portfolio, an improved console, advanced digital insights, and vLimeLite, a fluorescent imaging system for the visualization of ICG.

Mark Slack, Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder at CMR Surgical commented: “The introduction of the Ultrasonic Dissector is an important next step in our instrument portfolio. We’ve worked closely with our clinical partners to bring this proven ultrasonic instrument to Versius and are looking forward to seeing the positive impact it will have for surgeons using Versius. As a multifunctional instrument, Ultrasonic Dissector provides enhanced capability to Versius, allowing surgeons to seal blood vessels – supporting them to do more complex procedures with the system and thereby bring more robotic-assisted minimal access surgery to their patients.”
