Clinical and Economic Value
Economic Evidence
Ethicon energy solutions are designed to increase efficiency in the operating room, reduce complications, and minimize hospital costs. Portfolio-wide adoption of Ethicon energy devices may result in, on average, $101 per procedure cost savings due to reduced OR time and shorter patient hospital stays versus other energy devices.2
Clinical Evidence
Ethicon HARMONIC™ and ENSEAL™ technologies are supported by more peer-reviewed publications than any other advanced energy manufacturer combined.A We understand that surgeons, nurses and administrators aim to deliver positive surgical outcomes while improving efficiency and OR safety. Ethicon energy devices may help reduce surgical burdens through optimized energy delivery minimizing tissue damage.1
Surgical Burdens Associated with Tissue Dissection and Sealing Using Energy Devices
Bleeding Complications
Perioperative bleeding occurs in 7%-13% of surgeries,B,3 which can lead to extended hospital stays that can cost up to $1,118 per day.4
Tissue Damage
All energy devices have a thermal envelope where tissue damage can occur. It is important to take into account factors such as compression, heat and time to optimize energy delivery.
Burns
29% of all energy-based device complications reported to the FDA are pad-site burns. The risk of a pad-site burn injury is increased when the current is concentrated.5
Surgical Smoke
Surgical smoke is a byproduct of electrosurgical devices. It contains small particles (<2.0μm) able to get into deep parts of the lung6 and can cause acute and chronic health effects.7
