Executive Summary

GSI TO MANUFACTURE BALLOON TISSUE DISSECTION SYSTEM FOR ETHICON under a licensing and distribution deal announced July 3. The five-year agreement gives Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon Endo-Surgery a license to General Surgical Innovations' patents for tissue dissectors in the hernia repair field. As a result, Ethicon can continue to market its laparoscopic hernia repair system without infringing the GSI balloon tissue dissection system patents, GSI says. GSI hopes to begin manufacturing the dissector for Ethicon by the end of the year. Ethicon launched the device worldwide in January following 510(k) clearance in December 1995.
