Products
and services descriptions
Hycon
Ltd intends to market three different products.
1. The Visi-Band. This a one-use device used
in endoscopic variceal ligation processes
2. The Visi-Gator. This is a partly disposable
device used to eradicate blood clots during different endoscopic surgical
procedures.
3. The Visi-Lyser. This is a suction device
used in laparoscopic procedures. The surgeon, therefore, can easily access the
inside of the abdomen and pelvis through small incisions in the skin.
The
technology used in these products is subject to six patents applications.
Further
descriptions
Visi-Band
is pre-loaded delivery equipment used to apply multiple ligating bands remotely
from the distal tip of an endoscope. It can ligate greater range of tissue
sizes with a single band. This
super-elastic Band innovation efficiently promotes the band material stresses
such that it increases the apparent stretchability of the band.
Visi-Lyser
can be used together with the Visi-Gator in laparoscopic processes and at the
same time can be used alone.
These
products have the following functional advantages over the currently available
products like SpeedBand. They have a better visibility because of the
side-mounting band dispensing device, and they offer higher protectively from
dislodging of bands as they can load bands internally. Apart from the
capability of carrying more bands at a time, these devices ensure a substantial
reduction in manufacturing and assembly expenses. In addition, the equipment
has a better field of view and increased mobility.
