Medtronic Inc. recently launched the Aquamantys Mini EVS 3.4 Epidural Vein Sealer at the 2011 Annual Meeting of the North American Spine Society.

According to a company press release, the Mini EVS 3.4 Epidural Vein Sealer will help surgeons manage homeostasis during minimally invasive spine surgeries. The device is designed to optimize visibility and control epidural bleeding by enabling prophylactic compression and treatment of epidural veins before they begin to bleed. The 3.4-mm tip enables use in procedures with small epidural access points, according to the release, and the insulated shaft allows simultaneous retraction and electrode use near sensitive tissue such as dura and nerve roots.

“Developed in direct response to surgeon feedback, the Mini EVS 3.4 is the latest addition to a growing Transcollation spine portfolio, and will give surgeons greater choice and flexibility as they strive to prevent and treat intraoperative blood loss,” Mark Fletcher, president of the surgical technologies business at Medtronic, stated in the release.
