一系列設(shè)計(jì)用于介入專業(yè)手術(shù)新型注射器允許醫(yī)生在用一只手注射和吸取的同時(shí)保持針頭穩(wěn)定性。

這些注射器有著廣泛的應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域，叫做Procedur-10和Procedur-SF，在外科手術(shù)中使用交互技術(shù)從而允許同時(shí)注射和吸取液體或者組織。特殊應(yīng)用包括影像介導(dǎo)的手術(shù)比如活檢和羊膜穿刺術(shù)。在臨床試驗(yàn)中，使用這種注射器減輕了患者疼痛、減少了手術(shù)時(shí)間而且提高了滿意度。這種系列的注射器是由Wilmer L. Sibbitt醫(yī)生發(fā)明的，他是新墨西哥大學(xué)健康科學(xué)中心(Albuquerque, USA)內(nèi)科學(xué)教授。

該系列的注射器由Avanca醫(yī)學(xué)設(shè)備公司(Albuquerque, NM, USA)進(jìn)行商品化的，該公司從新墨西哥大學(xué)的科學(xué)與技術(shù)公司獲得了與Procedur系列注射器相關(guān)的知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)。

Avanca主席兼首席安全官Sibbitt醫(yī)生說：“介入放射學(xué)、婦產(chǎn)科學(xué)、產(chǎn)前診斷、麻醉學(xué)以及外科學(xué)從Procedur產(chǎn)品獲益的產(chǎn)品總數(shù)字是巨大的，預(yù)示著廣泛的市場(chǎng)前景。”
 
Specialty Syringes Aid Surgeons
 
A new family of syringes designed for interventional specialty procedures allow doctors to inject and aspirate with one hand while maintaining needle stability.

There are extensive applications for the syringes, called Procedur-10 and Procedur-SF, in surgical procedures using reciprocal technology that allows the injection and withdrawal of fluids or tissues simultaneously. Specific applications include image-guided procedures such as biopsies and amniocentesis. In clinical trials, use of the syringes resulted in less patient pain, reduced procedure time, and improved provider satisfaction. The family of syringes was invented by Wilmer L. Sibbitt, Jr., M.D., professor of internal medicine at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (Albuquerque, USA).

The syringes are being commercialized by Avanca Medical Devices (Albuquerque, NM, USA), which has licensed the intellectual property related to the Procedur family of syringes from the Science and Technology Corp. at the University of New Mexico.

“The total number of products that can benefit from the Procedur devices in interventional radiology, gynecology, prenatal diagnosis, anesthesiology, and surgery is enormous and indicates great market potential,” said Dr. Sibbitt, who is also chairman and CSO of Avanca.
