Integrated Endoscopy Inc. announced its nuvis single-use arthroscope will be exhibited at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Annual Meeting.
A lightweight scope with an easy-to-use design that eliminates bulky cables, the nuvis single-use arthroscope eradicates the risk of health care-associated infections due to lapses in instrument reprocessing and eliminates the need for sterilization and high-level disinfection of endoscopes, according to a company press release. With the availability of patient-ready scopes, it also prevents costly OR delays and downtime. Designed with high-definition optics and an innovative LED light source, the release notes the nuvis arthroscope eliminates the need for expensive xenon light bulbs and fragile fiber optic bundles.
“Unlike conventional reusable endoscopes, the nuvis arthroscope never infects a patient, never needs repairs, never contributes to OR delays, and never needs to be cleaned and sterilized,” Lonnie Hoyle, chief executive officer and chief technology officer of Integrated Endoscopy, said in the release.
