MMI receives de novo nod for microsurgery robot

Dive Brief Medical Microinstruments (MMI) has received de novo authorization for a robotic system that enables surgeons to reconnect tiny blood vessels, the company said Monday. The Food and Drug Administration authorized the device, called the Symani Surgical System, for soft tissue manipulation to perform microsurgery, a way to restore blood flow and redirect fluid during reconstruction or repair. CEO Mark Toland said the commercial availability of Symani could increase the number of physicians who can perform complicated microsurgical procedures. MMI plans to immediately launch the system in the U.S. Dive Insight Microsurgery and supermicrosurgery, a technique for 0.3mm to 0.8mm vessels, are microscope-assisted operations that enable physicians to take a piece of tissue from one part of the body and use it to reconstruct another area. By reconnecting blood vessels, surgeons can restore form and function to parts of the body damaged by trauma or disease. The potential for ...

Steris to sell dental segment for $787.5M

Dive Brief Steris has agreed to sell its dental business to investment firm Peak Rock Capital for $787.5 million in cash, the companies said on Thursday. The sale will allow Steris to focus on its core markets of healthcare, pharma and medtech, CEO Dan Carestio said in a statement. The Mentor, Ohio-based company provides sterilizers and washers, surgical tables and other equipment. Steris decided to divest the dental segment “after a thorough review of strategic alternatives,” Carestio said. The business reported $407 million in revenue and $86 million in operating income during the 12-month period ending Dec. 31, 2023. Dive Insight Steris acquired the dental business in 2021 when it bought Cantel for $4.6 billion. The purchase was expected to complement Steris’ existing business, adding infection control products for endoscopy and providing an entry into the dental market. Now, the company is looking to sell the segment. Peak Rock Capital ...

AstraZeneca, Daiichi Sankyo Drug Enhertu Becomes First Tumor-Agnostic ADC Cancer Med

The FDA expanded Enhertu’s approval to encompass advanced solid tumors positive for the HER2 cancer protein, regardless of tumor type. Analysts say the regulatory decision paves the way for similar broader approvals of other medications in the ADC cancer drug class.The AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo targeted cancer drug Enhertu is now the first therapy in its class approved for treating solid tumors regardless of either the cancer type or where the disease started in the body. Enhertu had previously won FDA approvals for treating certain advanced cases of breast, gastric, and lung cancers that express a protein called HER2. Late Friday, the FDA expanded the drug’s approval to broadly include the treatment of adults who have HER2-expressing solid tumors. These patients must have a cancer that cannot be removed surgically or has advanced following a prior systemic treatment. The expanded approval came nearly two months ahead of the May 30 ...

【EXPERT Q&A】What is temporary mining of medical consumables?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: “The procurement of medical consumables on an ad hoc basis” typically refers to the acquisition of medical consumables by healthcare institutions for clinical use, such as surgical instruments, dressings, syringes, catheters, and so forth. These consumables are essential for the daily provision of medical services in healthcare facilities. However, due to specific patient needs, types of procedures, and other factors, healthcare institutions may procure these consumables as needed during clinical practice rather than purchasing them in bulk beforehand. The term “ad hoc procurement” or “clinical procurement” implies that healthcare institutions purchase the necessary medical consumables based on current clinical demands and patient conditions. This ensures the smooth delivery of medical services. Unlike pre-planned routine procurement, clinical procurement is more flexible, allowing adjustments to be made promptly to meet specific medical needs as they arise.

Intuitive lands FDA clearance for new da Vinci robot

Dive Brief Intuitive Surgical said Thursday it received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration for a fifth-generation robotic surgery system intended to help the company keep its dominant market share in the face of looming competition. The da Vinci 5 system incorporates features that surgeons have long sought, such as feedback that simulates the feel of the patient’s body tissue, a smaller physical footprint in the operating room, and better console ergonomics. The improvements “can help drive incremental demand for the system and raise the bar for competition in the future,” William Blair analyst Brandon Vazquez said Friday in a note to clients. Dive Insight Intuitive is preparing for competitive challenges from Medtronic and Johnson & Johnson, as well as a wave of startups hoping to vie for a piece of the growing market. The robot maker, which saw its procedure volumes increase by 21% in the fourth ...

Novel Test Identifies Aggressive Ovarian Cancers Early

Ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) is the predominant form of ovarian cancer affecting women. Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinomas (STICs), which are precancerous lesions on the fallopian tubes, are considered the main precursors of HGSC. Women undergoing salpingectomy, the surgical removal of fallopian tubes, often do so without a detailed examination of these precancerous lesions. The challenge lies in the molecular diversity of STICs and the difficulty in detecting aggressive forms early, owing to their small size. In response to this urgent diagnostic need, researchers have developed an algorithm to identify STICs before they can progress to cancer. This pioneering algorithm, named “REAL-FAST” (RealSeqS-based algorithm for fallopian tube aneuploidy pattern in STIC), was developed by a team at Johns Hopkins Medicine (Baltimore, MD, USA). In a pilot study, REAL-FAST distinguished five unique types of precancerous lesions in fallopian tubes, with two identified as particularly aggressive and often linked to recurrent HGSC. ...

Womb condition checks could reduce cancer risk in endometrial hyperplasia

Women with atypical endometrial hyperplasia have an increased risk of developing cancer Researchers from the University of Edinburgh have revealed that improved patient care is needed to reduce cancer risk among women with endometrial hyperplasia in a new study. The study compared the treatment that patients living with the condition received before and after the introduction of national guidance. Grouped into two types, atypical endometrial hyperplasia is a precancerous condition that carries an increased risk, and non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia occurs when the womb lining is thicker than normal but less likely to become cancerous. Currently, in the UK, the national guidance for this condition recommends a hysterectomy, a surgical procedure that removes the womb, for patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia. For those with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia, guidance recommends a trial of a hormone treatment given directly into the womb, with regular follow-up monitoring to track progress. The study analysed patient ...
