GENERAL
SURGICAL INNOVATIONS
BENEFITING THE HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
Through General Surgical Innovations'
patented tissue dissection technology, GSI has developed a range
of products that enable and advance the use of minimally invasive
surgical techniques and procedures that can deliver substantial
clinical and cost benefits for the patient, surgeon, hospital
and healthcare provider. GSI believes that its core technology
can also be leveraged to create new products to be used for
a variety of surgical procedures throughout the body.
Through a small incision on the skin's surface, a surgeon uses
products from GSI's proprietary line of SPACEMAKER® balloon
dissector systems to gently create a predictable space between
naturally occurring tissue layers at a surgical site, thus enhancing
the surgeon's ability to perform minimally invasive surgery
(MIS). Patients undergoing MIS generally experience less pain
and blood loss, recuperate in a shorter period of time, have
smaller incisions and less scarring and develop fewer post-operative
wound complications than do open surgery patients, and are therefore
usually able to return more quickly to their normal lifestyles.
In addition, these procedures may require shorter hospital stays,
leading to reduced costs to the healthcare provider and enabling
the hospital to become more efficient.
