Here are five things to know:
1. The FDA approved joimax’s Endovapor 2 Multi Radio Frequency System used for generating electrical power for the monopolar and biopolar cutting and coagulation of tissue structures during surgery.
2. The Endovapor has integrated programs for spinal cord surgery. Surgeons use an intuitive touchpad technology while performing the procedure.
3. The technology includes several electro-surgical modes and effects as well as arc control for safe application and easy neutral electrode monitoring.
4. During the American Academy of Neurological Surgeons annual meeting, joimax conducted a CME endoscopic cadaveric workshop with the technology and met with U.S. surgeons to discuss training on the procedure, clinical research and future technologies.
5. Vaporflex and Legato electrical probes received FDA clearance in November 2016, and the most recent clearance adds to joimax’s minimally invasive spine portfolio.
