Invuity launches handheld illuminator with suction for trauma surgery

Invuity recently announced the full commercial launch of the Eigr Saber Waveguide with Yankauer, which is a handheld illuminator combined with a traditional Yankauer suction platform.

The Eigr Saber Waveguide illuminator projects thermally cool, brilliant, white light uniformly into a surgical cavity and, according to a press release, significantly improves visualization in patients during trauma and reconstruction surgery.

Based on the release, the device is especially useful for pelvic trauma procedures and in deep surgical cavities that require both illumination and suction.

“This device demonstrates the universal clinical utility of our technology, which improves operating room workflow and surgical efficiency for the many sub-specialties within orthopedics, as well as for many other important surgical functions,” Philip Sawyer, CEO of Invuity, stated in the press release.
