J-Plasma® product recognized
for innovation by the SLS for third consecutive year
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® J-Plasma® product
extension, branded the Precise 360™, has been named an
“Innovation of the Year” by The Society of Laparoendoscopic
Surgeons (SLS).
This J-Plasma® hand piece has an angled and rotating tip that
enables surgeons access to structures that are difficult to reach
using a straight laparoscopic device. J-Plasma®, Bovie’s
transformational surgical product, uses helium ionization to allow
surgeons to cut and coagulate with greater precision on and around
delicate structures.
This marks the third consecutive year that a J-Plasma® product
has been cited for innovation: in 2014, J-Plasma® product line won
this distinction, and in 2015, it was given to the Bovie Ultimate™
Operating Room Generator, a product that combines J-Plasma®
technology with the highest wattage monopolor and bipolor
electrosurgical generator.
Commenting on this achievement, Mr. Robert L. Gershon, Chief
Executive Officer said, “We are proud that a third J-Plasma®
product has been honored as an innovation of the year, highlighting
the unique advantages of this exciting technology. The Precise
360™ leverages J-Plasma®’s precision and adds flexibility in
procedures on hard-to-reach structures including the culdesac and
anterior abdominal wall. We are committed to developing innovative
surgical devices, and appreciate this recognition from the Society
of Laparoendoscopic surgeons.”
The Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons (SLS) is an
educational, non-profit organization established to ensure the
highest standards for the practice of laparoscopic, endoscopic and
minimally invasive surgery. Each year, SLS recognizes the most
innovative products of the past year that have a multidisciplinary
application in minimally invasive surgery.
Bovie Medical will receive the recognition at the opening
ceremony of SLS’ Minimally Invasive Surgery Week Annual Meeting and
Endo Expo, to be held in Boston, Massachusetts, on Wednesday
August, 31, 2016.
