EzVu® – Visual Vasopressor Injector
To reduce blood loss during laparoscopic gynecological procedures, including myomectomy and hysterectomy, surgeons often need to take the preventive measure of injecting a dilute vasopressor agent intramyometrial before they begin the procedure.
EzVu Visual Vasopressor Injector helps detect an inadvertent vascular puncture very early, even in a small calibre blood vessel, and with much more sensitivity than a conventional opaque needle.
EzVu is a 33-cm-long and 5-mm diameter hollow shaft providing a transparent terminal window at the distal end. On aspiration, the blood can be seen as soon as the needle punctures a blood vessel, at a volume as small as 0.03ml (less than a single drop of blood). The needle can then be withdrawn, flushed, and repositioned at a new site.
