SMICES (Smart Medical)

www.smices-surgical.com

IMT Mines Alès The recurring and prohibitive problem involved in laparoscopic operations is the quality of the image and the optics used in laparoscopic surgery. The appearance of condensation, smoke stagnation (electrocautery), blood splatter and fatty materials hinder the visibility of practitioners and their surgical teams every 5 to 10 minutes. The surgery must then be interrupted to clean the optical device outside the patient’s body, which causes stress, discomfort and major work.

The SMICES team has developed MEDCAM©, a single-use, eco-responsible medical device (2 patents) that helps maintain the constant quality of the image for surgical teams in the operating room. This innovative medical device helps stabilize the surgical procedure, improves concentration on the surgical site and saves time.
