September 25, 2015 updated by: Minimally Invasive Devices, Inc.

Prospective, Randomized Comparison of the Use of FloShield Air System Versus Clearify Visualization System (D-HELP) During Laparoscopic Surgery to Evaluate the Operative Interruption for Lens Cleaning

This is a post market, prospective, comparison study of the use of the FloShield Air System versus Clearify™ Visualization System (D-HELP) during laparoscopic surgery.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a post market, prospective, comparison study of the use of the FloShield Air System versus Clearify™ Visualization System (D-HELP) during laparoscopic surgery. The study will be randomized across two groups, one group will evaluate laparoscopic lens cleaning with D-HELP during laparoscopic surgery and the second group will evaluate laparoscopic lens cleaning using the FloShield Air System during laparoscopic surgery. Each surgery will be captured on video. Study parameters will be evaluated through review of each video by an independent evaluator.
