Lazurite and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) are teaming up to evaluate Lazurite’s ArthroFree™ Wireless Surgical Camera, reportedly the first wireless surgical camera system to receive FDA clearance for arthroscopy and general endoscopy applications.
Through the HSS Innovation Institute, HSS and Lazurite will collaborate to advance surgical technology and techniques, including evaluation of specific aspects of ArthroFree and potential co-development of new arthroscopic technologies. HSS will conduct training sessions at the HSS Simulation Learning and Training Center and may also work with Lazurite on co-development of future technologies that leverage the ArthroFree wireless camera and proprietary Meridiem™ light technology.
By eliminating conventional camera cables that tether surgeons to the surgical tower and hinder their movement, the ArthroFree System is expected to increase OR efficiency, improve OR safety and lower customer costs. With its solid-state, low-heat, high-efficiency Meridiem light technology, the system also promises to eliminate camera-related patient burns and OR fires. The modular system is designed to be drop-in compatible with existing patient data consoles, surgical displays and endoscopes found in minimally invasive operating rooms.
Lazurite President and General Counsel Leah Brownlee said, “HSS has been a pioneer in orthopedic research and innovation for decades. The hospital performs more than 32,000 surgical procedures annually, including more hip surgeries and more knee replacements than any other hospital in the country. We believe this will be a beneficial experience for both HSS and Lazurite.”
