Product Innovation

The Intelligent Surgical Instrument™ is PMI's Articulating Endoscopic Linear Cutter designed to transect, resect and anastomose tissue. It is controlled by drive motors, motor control circuits and clinician-feedback technology that have been miniaturized and integrated into the handpiece. The is designed for used in laparoscopic surgery.

Full Articulation

  • Unprecedented access
  • Mimics the human wrist enabling access to difficult to reach anatomy
  • Procedure-enabling
  • Can be fired at any point within its range of motion with precision

Self Contained Power Source

  • Self contained lithium ion battery in handle allows freedom of movement for better access
  • Rechargeable battery

Digital Control

  • A push of a button initiates a sequence of steps under software control which are performed automatically unlike conventional staplers that require a series of manual operations
  • Diode indicators provide visual feedback when tissue is within optimal firing range
  • Visual feedback when firing is complete resulting in 4 double staggered rows of staples with transection between them
  • Enables articulation, clamping and firing functions to work independently and at the touch of a button

Direct Drive™ with Onboard Computer Control

  • Maintains compressive force at any angle
  • Allows distal to proximal firing reducing tissue milking
  • Electronic sensors measure anvil position 500 times per second for greater precision and accuracy
  • Compressive forces are applied gradually and consistently for repeatable results
  • True one-handed operation

Powerful Electric Motors

  • Enables full thickness closure with precision

Resposable / Recyclable Technology

  • Reduces medical waste and increases shelf space

Controlled Tissue Compression™

  • Only the force necessary to safely compress tissue is applied
  • Reduces tissue trauma and preserves microcirculation
