Protects patients
Guards against burns caused by defective instrument insulation.
Patient safety
Scannula scanning system for burn prevention
Protect patients from electrosurgical burns with real-time scanning of monopolar instruments of all makes, every time they enter the body.
The hidden risk
Insulation defects happen out of view.
Defects in the insulation of monopolar electrosurgical instruments can let electrical energy flow to unintended tissue, often outside the surgeon’s field of view. This may lead to burns, injuries and even the death of the patient.
The Scannula is the first and only product that prevents burns by performing convenient real-time scanning of monopolar electrosurgical instruments of all makes each time they enter a patient’s body. An array of sensors that detect potential burn hazards is embedded inside a state-of-the-art conventional cannula.
It is easy to use: insert an instrument as you would with a conventional cannula and the system automatically scans it for insulation defects.
