Adding Value to Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become standard of care for many surgical teams with over 13 million MIS procedures performed globally each year.

While MIS technology has evolved, unmet needs persist that have not been addressed. These unmet needs affect the patient, surgeon, OR staff and hospital alike. Currently, MIS requires a dedicated port for visualization devices as well as a staff member to hold the camera and scope for the surgeon throughout each procedure. Current challenges with reusable cameras and scopes also include the aging of equipment, repair costs, capital equipment constraints, and the need to clean and de-fog the camera perioperatively.

Resolving these issues by offering proprietary imaging and access technologies for MIS is the innovative medical device company, New View Surgical. The company is aiming to provide both clinical and economic value through novel, single-use design approaches to surgical visualization that improve clinical care, streamline processes, and reduce costs for healthcare systems worldwide. New View Surgical has developed the novel VisionPort™ System that combines four devices (the laparoscope, camera, light source, and trocar) into one single-use platform, providing the surgeon with complete control of both visualization and instrumentation while enhancing the efficiency of the entire surgical team.

“The VisionPort System represents a unique opportunity to create value across multiple stakeholders.

With the VisionPort, we reduce capital expenditures, maintenance costs, and the expense of sterile processing for each surgical procedure. It also frees up a surgical team member by reducing the need to have a scope holder in the room. For the surgeon, the surgical image is now in their control, which offers several clinical advantages” states Shane Johnson, chief commercial officer, New View Surgical.

Bringing a unified system with a high-definition camera embedded in the trocar differentiates the VisionPort System from any other product on the market. This innovative platform is designed to improve patient outcomes by reducing the number of surgical incisions, driving efficiency for the OR staff, and delivering cost savings for facilities.

New View Surgical completed their first clinical cases in November 2022. “Initially, we are conducting a limited market release with the goal of collecting data on clinical and economic outcomes. We plan to utilize the information from these cases to educate physicians and hospital administration on the value creation that the VisionPort provides,” says Johnson.

New View Surgical is driven by the mission to advance MIS surgery and improve clinical care, streamline process, and reduce costs for healthcare systems worldwide. The team is dedicated to this vision and is working diligently to achieve these goals.

As operating rooms demand meaningful innovation, the VisionPort System is well positioned to deliver meaningful value for minimally invasive surgical teams.
