Domain surgical recently announced the launch of FMsealer Laparoscopic Shears, the latest addition to its FMX Ferromagnetic Surgical System. The FMsealer Laparoscopic Shears seal the vessels in half the time as compared to bipolar and ultrasonic shears.
The sealers work on the principles of ferromagnetic surgical energy offering faster surgical transection and minimal thermal impact to surrounding tissue. It has a patented active cooling system that ensures localization of heat in the jaws and provides a rapid cool down following deactivation. It also does not transmit electric current to the patient, making it safe to operate near metal staples, clips, and instruments.

The surgeon can change between ‘seal’, ‘seal and divide’ and ‘high-power seal and divide’ modes easily based on different tissue interactions. It efficiently seals vessels up to and including 7 mm in diameter, including lymphatics in both open and laparoscopic procedures.
The FMsealer was found effective in the clinical trial and fared better in terms of thermal impact, sealing larger vessels and patient safety as compared to bipolar and ultrasonic sealers. The study was published in the Journal of Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques in 2017.
OmniGuide, Inc.’s CEO John Buhler said, “The FMsealer provides surgeons with an optimal combination of reliability, efficiency, customization, and safety in a variety of laparoscopic procedures, without passing potentially dangerous electrical current through the patient.”
