Executive Summary
Laser Industries (Israel) has received US FDA approval for its Sharplan U Sight system, an ultrasound device to assist surgeons and gynaecologists to detect liver/colon tumours or ductal stones during laparoscopy. The clearance marks the completion of one phase of the company's strategy, established three years ago, of developing several non-laser products for the minimally invasive surgical market. Other than the U Sight, products in this line include the I Sight computerised endoscopic video camera and the Bi Sight, which offers the surgeon a combined video and ultrasound image of the endoscopic surgical site on a single screen.
