Applications in Solid Organ

Salient Surgical Technologies built the foundation of its early success on innovative products for solid organ procedures. Salient's Monopolar DS and Endo Sealers have set the standard for solid organ resection, offering the following benefits:

  • Speed - eliminates the need to clip or tie most vessels during parenchymal transection
  • Minimized ischaemic risk - virtually bloodless transections, often without the need for in-flow occlusion
  • Prevents bile leaks by sealing small biliary radicals
  • Produces a sealed remnant organ bed that will not crack and rebleed
  • Simplicity - single device for either pre-coagulation alone or simultaneous pre-coagulation and blunt dissection
  • Enhanced visibility - no char and a virtually bloodless field make the plane of dissection clear
  • Simple set-up - all you need is a standard electrosurgery generator and a bag of saline
  • Cost savings - replaces numerous dissection and haemostatic technologies

TRANSCOLLATION™ technology's multiple benefits to the patient and surgeon can mean increased efficiencies for the hospital as well. Benefits to providers may include:

  • Reduced direct and indirect costs associated with allogeneic transfusions
  • Increases O.R. efficiency
  • Elimination or reduction of alternative blood management strategies
