MINIMALLY INVASIVE DEVICES

MID has developed the FloShield system, a franchise of products that substantially improve visualization during laparoscopic surgery. During laparoscopic surgery, it is common for condensation to form on the end of the laparoscope obscuring vision. It is also common for debris from the ultrasonic scalpel, cautery, or even blood products themselves to degrade the surgical view. Most commonly, surgeons will need to remove the laparoscope for manual cleaning. It was founded in 2006 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.
