First Single-Use Rigid Endoscope to be Demonstrated at AAOS
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif.–(Business Wire)–Integrated Endoscopy, Inc. will demonstrate its nuvis™ Single-Use Arthroscope—the only single-use rigid endoscope commercially available in the United States—at the 2015 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meeting, March 25–27, 2015, in Las Vegas (booth No. 674).
The launch of the nuvis Single-Use Arthroscope comes at a time of heightened awareness about serious patient safety issues connected with endoscopic procedures, including a number of recent high-profile infection outbreaks caused by bacteria build up in difficult-to-clean endoscopes.
“We’re excited to introduce the nuvis Single-Use Arthroscope to orthopedic surgeons,” said George Wright, president and CEO of Integrated Endoscopy. “Our discussions with orthopedic surgeons across the country underscore the importance of exceptional optical quality in a disposable endoscope. The nuvis Arthroscope is the first single-use rigid endoscope based on 21st century optical technology. Its excellent optics and improved safety provide first-time quality for every procedure, benefiting surgeons and patients alike.”
