IDEAL SOLUTION FOR ROBOTICS
Urology
Vivostat® solutions have been used by urologists for years and have proven invaluable when a haemostat, a sealant or a tissue regenerating solution has been necessary in urology. The Vivostat® System can accommodate various types of surgery (open surgery, endoscopy, laparoscopy and robotics) and is used for many different surgical procedures including:
- Partial nephrectomy
- Radical prostatectomy
- Kidney transplantation
- Pyelo-plastic operation
- Cystectomy
- Bladder hemorrhagic episodes
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Pelvic organ mesh removal
- Ureter anastomosis
Despite continuous advances in surgical techniques and solutions in urology, challenges persist. Vivostat® meet these challenges, offering solutions for:
- Haemostasis of bleedings
- Sealing suture lines
- Reducing drainage and preventing seroma formation
- Tissue regeneration
Vivostat® provides surgeons with a choice of two remarkable products to address these challenges effectively.
If haemostasis and/or sealing are the primary challenges, Vivostat® Fibrin is an excellent choice. When tissue regeneration is paramount, Vivostat® PRF stands as the optimal choice.
main advantages using vivostat®
- Quick and maintained haemostasis of bleeding (reducing total surgical time)
- Complete sealing securing suture lines
- Reduction of lymphatic drainage
- Prevention of seroma formation
- Nerve preservation
