8 4 O U T P A T I E N T S U R G E R Y M A G A Z I N E O N L I N E | J U N E 2 0 1 5 Here's a look at 6 more products on display at the SAGES 2015 Annual Meeting designed to advance safety and improve outcomes in GI surgery. — Kendal Gapinski NovaTract | NovaGrasp Laparoscopic Tethered Grasper This device is designed to be one of the least invasive methods of retraction for surgeons. It is a stainless steel grasper tip connected to a polyethylene tension line that's then used intra-abdominally to secure tissue and organs for retraction. Introduced via an existing port or percu- taneously, the retractor is repositionable and allows for hands-free retraction. A company rep says the affordable device improves cosmesis and eliminates or reduces additional port closure time. Domain Surgical | FMX Ferromagnetic Surgical System This new platform of cutting and coagulation devices uses ferromag- netic heating to produce a thermal energy that the company says is safer than existing modalities. The FMX generator passes electrical energy through the FMX tool's ferromagnet- ic-coated tip. No electrical energy is passed through the patient, eliminat- ing the need for a grounding pad and reducing the risk of thermal tissue damage.
