Bi-Lateral Femoral Access with HARMONIC FOCUS During AAA Repair

HARMONIC FOCUS® Curved Shears offer technology that helps decrease post-operative drainage.^{†, ‡}

You often operate on compromised patients, and even under the best circumstances, it can be hard for them to heal. You want to reduce drainage and to avoid lymphoceles and seromas, and HARMONIC FOCUS Curved Shears can help. It seals lymphatics, and it cuts, coagulates, grasps and dissects.

HARMONIC® Technology enables precision with minimal thermal damage for soft tissue incision, coagulation, skeletonization and mobilization. HARMONIC® Devices, including open and laparoscopic blades and shears, can be used to obtain exposure to vasculature in procedures including:

Strength and Protection

Wound closure plays an integral role in patient outcomes. While the fascia and skin heals, the wound closure device provides the necessary strength and support to maintain wound integrity and avoid complications such as dehiscence and surgical site infections.¹⁵⁵

To achieve excellent outcomes during wound closure, Ethicon offers several innovative technologies, including:

• STRATAFIX™ Knotless Tissue Control Devices – with significantly more points of fixation than traditional sutures, STRATAFIX™ Devices provide a combination of more consistent control, strength and security, and more efficiency
• DERMABOND® Portfolio – transform skin closure with a complete set of solutions that add strength and protection against bacterial contamination to an incision^1,117
• Plus Antibacterial Sutures – the only commercially available suture that protects against colonization of the suture by pathogens commonly associated with surgical site infections
