Bovie Medical (NYSE:BVX), a maker of medical devices and
supplies and the developer of J-Plasma®, a patented new surgical
product, announced that the Bovie® Ultimate™ Operating Room
Generator has been named an “Innovation of the Year” by The
Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons (SLS).
The Bovie® Ultimate™ is a high frequency electrosurgical
generator that can be used for delivery of RF energy and/or helium
gas plasma to cut, coagulate and ablate soft tissue during open and
laparoscopic surgical procedures. The generator offers users
monopolar, bipolar and plasma features in a single generator. It
also has a helium-gas outlet, making it compatible with J-Plasma®,
Bovie’s transformational helium ionization tool for cutting and
coagulation.
This marks the second consecutive year that a Bovie Medical
product has been recognized for innovation; in 2014, J-Plasma® won
this prestigious recognition.
Commenting on this achievement, Mr. Robert L. Gershon, Chief
Executive Officer said, “The Bovie® Ultimate™ is a leading-edge
product that combines J-Plasma® technology with the highest wattage
operating room electrosurgical generator, and as such has the
potential to become the new gold standard for hospital-based use.
It is specifically designed to give medical practitioners greater
flexibility, including the ability to easily incorporate our
J-Plasma® product, which provides increased access and precision in
a range of surgical procedures. We appreciate this recognition from
The Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons and are proud that once
again one of Bovie’s products has been recognized for its
innovation.”

ceremony of SLS’ Minimally Invasive Surgery Week Annual Meeting and
