Pristine Surgical has launched its Summit 4K single-use surgical arthroscope, making them available to U.S. hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.
“Summit is a fully-integrated single-use scope with 4K resolution that simplifies arthroscopic procedures and packs the latest in minimally invasive visualization technology into a sterile, cost-effective, ready-to-use package,” Pristine Surgical CEO Bryan Lord said. “I’m pleased with the feedback we’ve received, and we’re excited to make this game-changing arthroscope available nationwide to help surgeons and their teams innovate their endoscopy suite.”
A brand new, sterile 4K scope for every patient, Summit is ready to use out of the box, eliminating the time-consuming operating room setup and teardown processes and device reprocessing required for reusable arthroscopes. It is pre-installed with Pristine Connect software for seamless cloud-connected surgical image and video storage and automated inventory management.
“We developed Summit to address the challenges inherent to conventional surgical visualization, which relies on reusable arthroscopes that become obsolete, are difficult and costly to maintain, and are prone to wear, damage, and potential infection,” Pristine Surgical Chief Medical Officer Dr. Stephen J. Snyder, who is considered a pioneer in shoulder arthroscopy. “It is a major leap forward in a field that hasn’t changed much in my 40-plus years of practice, and when we saw the positive response and impact it was having in our limited market rollout, we were confident it was time to fully launch Summit in the marketplace.”
Summit integrates with a surgery center's existing endoscopy tower, allowing ASCs to upgrade to 4K without major capital investment. It is delivered through a first-of-its-kind scopes-by-subscription business model and has transparent pricing to make it cost-effective and practical. Through sustainability partnerships, Pristine Surgical will also provide recycling options to its customers.
Summit is available through select U.S. distribution partners.
Pristine Surgical aims to simplify endoscopy. The company combines single-use endoscopes with cloud-based software to make minimally invasive visualization more efficient, consistent, and safe. Pristine Surgical offers a subscription business model with transparent pricing and automated inventory management.
