Olympus Introduces the POWERSEAL™ Open Extended Jaw Sealer/Divider

Olympus Corporation, a prominent player in the MedTech industry, has announced the official launch of its POWERSEAL™ Open Extended Jaw Sealer/Divider throughout the United States and Canada. This innovative device is an addition to the already successful POWERSEAL 5mm portfolio and is designed specifically for open surgical procedures across various specialties, including colorectal, gynecological, thoracic, urological, and vascular surgeries.

Revolutionary Design Features

One of the standout features of the POWERSEAL Open Extended Jaw Sealer/Divider is its ergonomic design, allowing for one-handed operation. Surgeons can now manage critical tasks more efficiently, as the device supports secure grasping and coagulation while minimizing hand fatigue.

Key Specifications:

• - Vessel Sealing Capability: It can effectively seal vessels up to 7mm in diameter, including delicate pulmonary vessels, tissue bundles, and lymphatics, with a specially designed jaw coating that reduces tissue sticking.
• - Multifunctional Features: The device features a jaw configuration that supports effective dissection with a curved and tapered tip, improving access to and visualization of target tissues in tight spaces.
• - Ergonomic Usage: A rotation wheel located proximal to the device enables smooth, frictionless rotations with less squeezing force required to activate both the closing of the jaws and the cutting mechanism.

Clinical Value Across Specialties

The POWERSEAL Open Extended Jaw Sealer/Divider provides essential clinical benefits that enhance patient outcomes during open surgical procedures. Dr. Karim Alavi, Director of Colon and Rectal Surgery Fellowship at UMass Memorial Medical Center, praised its performance: “The benefits of the POWERSEAL Open Extended Jaw are immediately noticeable. The heat spread around the jaws is minimal, ensuring the energy remains concentrated within the tissue during use.”

This device is powered by the ESG-410™ Surgical Energy Platform, which supports various energy modalities that optimize surgical performance. In addition, it is fully compatible with the ESG-400 platform.

Commitment to Enhancing Surgical Efficiency

“Olympus is thrilled to introduce the latest member of our POWERSEAL family, which significantly enhances precision and efficiency during open procedures,” stated Kanichi Matsumoto, Corporate Officer and Head of Surgical Business at Olympus. He further emphasized that the design prioritizes ergonomic comfort and minimizes unnecessary hand movement, allowing surgeons to devote their full attention to their patients.

Upcoming Demonstrations

To showcase the capabilities of the POWERSEAL Open Extended Jaw Sealer/Divider, Olympus plans to feature it at several forthcoming medical conferences:

• - International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders, World Congress: September 1-4, Toronto, ON
• - Canadian Surgery Forum: September 16-19, Halifax, NS
• - American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress 2026: September 26-29, Washington D.C.
