Starion’s devices perform an essential part of surgery, sealing and dividing soft tissue. However, Starion's instruments achieve this through the application of direct heat and pressure. Other types of sealing and dividing devices use intermediate forms of energy, predominately monopolar and bipolar radio frequency or ultrasonic vibration, each of which can present risks to patients and surgeons.
All of Starion’s products are based on the company’s proprietary Tissue Welding technology, licensed exclusively from Columbia University. By using only direct heat and pressure to simultaneously seal and divide tissue, Starion's instruments can minimize unintended thermal injury and be used adjacent to vital and delicate tissue structures with less risk than other technologies. As a result, Starion's products are used in a wide variety of open and endoscopic cardiac, gynecological, general surgical, otolaryngologic and urologic surgical procedures. Starion is experiencing rapid growth due to the quality of our products and our commitment to our core technology. |
