“Old” instruments “revised”SILS™ Stitch Articulating Suturing Device™
Pre-bent instruments Re-usable more cost-effective Lower degrees of freedom Steeper learning curve? S-portal HiQ LS hand instruments
Articulating (flexible) instrumentsReal Hand™ • graspers, shears • Endolink mechanism • Technology designed to mirror surgeon’s hand direction • 7 d.o.f. • Not intuitive locking mechanism
Articulating (flexible) instruments:Autonomy™ laparo-angle™ • grasper/dissector, scissors, needle holder, hook • 7 d.o.f. • Full articulation maping surgeon's hand motions • A tip rotating 360° around its axis • Simultaneous actions (ie articulating downward while rotating) • Locking Mechanism • Bulky handles (external clashing)

New concepts Aim maintain camera view move camera handle away from working instruments externally New Features Minimal External profile Integrated in-line light source Cable light in the same axis (No right angle light cord) High image quality - HD vision Chip on the tip technology Able to visualize structures from different perspectives Vision off-line from instruments axis Flexible/ semi-rigid shaft Photos courtesy Bo Yang
Standard (extra long) Scopes • 5-mm, 30° extra long (50 cm) • extra length removing the camera head and light cord from the operative field • right angle light cord adapter that brings the light cord off of the back of the scope
Standard (extra long) Scopes By courtesy L. Schips
Flexible scopesENDOEYE™ • EndoEYE LS • 5 mm, 30o digital scope • control section can be bent by as much as 90o • Integrated light and camera • CCD chip on the tip • EndoEYE LTF-VP • 5-10 mm, 0o digital scope • Deflectable tip (100o angulation) • Integrated light and camera • CCD chip on the tip
Flexible scopesIdeal EYES™ HD • 10mm • Friction assist brake • Integrated light cable • Over 100° of flexion in all directions
A new ideaENDOCAmeleon™ • 10mm • camera chip rotating within the tip • eliminating the need for the plastic casing while still giving surgeons the multi-directional view they need to operate By courtesy L. Schips
