Real Time Detection. Faster Surgery. Safer Patients

Sentiré Medical Systems’ patented Perf-Alert®, a revolutionary monitoring system that will alert surgeons to the presence of bowel gas during laparoscopic and robotic surgical procedures. Intraoperative monitoring for bowel gas will enable surgeons to progress more efficiently through cases while enhancing safety and peace of mind for surgeons and patients.

Background

With more than 15 million laparoscopic procedures performed annually, solutions to the associated risks are more pressing than ever. Morbidity from the delay in treating a perforated bowel can be severe.

Bowel injury can occur while the surgeon is accessing the abdominal cavity using a Veress needle or trocar, as well as during the procedure itself - especially while resecting adhesions, which can result from prior surgery, endometriosis or other conditions. When perforations are identified intra-operatively, at the time of the occurrence, they can usually be repaired without complication.

Sentiré offers a modern day operating room ‘canary in the coalmine’, proving peace of mind for surgeons and patients alike.
