Laparoscopic closure system ATLAS™ U-Stitch

with suture

Developed for surgeon ease of use, the ATLAS™ U-Stitch uses exclusive magnetic technology to quickly and safely form a u-stitch within the hollow viscus. After proper placement, the organ is secured to the abdominal wall. Designed with patient comfort and safety in mind, this device was created to decrease the possibility of adverse events during -pexy procedures. Increased simplicity of placing a u-stitch. Strong securement without metal. Consistent and precise suture placement with fixed needle spacing. 36% smaller area, 20% lower profile, and > 77% softer bumper versus the leading competitor. Hollow Viscus Attachment to the Abdominal Wall What is the ATLAS™ U-Stitch? The ATLAS™ U-Stitch builds upon decades of hollow viscus attachment techniques – and improves them for modern surgical practice. This innovative suture delivery system utilizes magnets to form a u-stitch within a hollow viscus to secure the organ to the abdominal wall. After proper placement, only the suture remains, which then can be tied over a soft, silicone bumper – completely metal free. Following this procedure, an appropriate interventional catheter will be placed according to patient needs. This device is designed to provide a more broadly applicable and faster alternative to existing manual u-stitches and t-fasteners. In the abdominal cavity there are several hollow viscera, including the stomach, large intestine, small intestine, and the bladder. Each of these organs has an associated -pexy procedure and resultant applicable interventional catheter that may form part of a treatment plan to address patient needs.
