Söring GmbH products

The ultrasonic-assisted bone instrument from Söring was developed specifically for the resection of bone and offers numerous advantages in spinal surgery, e. g. for decompression procedures. The non-rotating technology allows a very precise and fine approach, so that the surgeon can work closely to critical spinal neurovascular structures such as the dura mater. Additional pressure is avoided, which is extremely important when working in already tight spaces. Due to the longitudinal movement of the sonotrode tip there is also no risk of "grabbing". Another great advantage compared to other instruments is that bone can be removed in individual pieces, as it is not ground. Thus, removed material can be used further for fusion operations. Thereby artificial bone material or bone graft harvesting can be avoided.

Clinical outcome maximized. Safety optimized. Tumors located close to the corticospinal tract are very challenging to resect. While the maximum extent of tumor shall be removed, functional structures need to be kept intact. To address this challenge with a maximized clinical outcome, two technologies were combined:

Easy handling for doctors and nurses; With their different sonotrode shapes the UAW instruments from Söring are specially adapted to the needs of Ultrasonic-Assisted Wound Debridement. They can be used in disinfectable treatment rooms by doctors and specialised nursing staff. Due to their reprocessability and longevity, UAW instruments meet the requirements for a resource saving treatment option. The working frequency of 25 kHz makes the use of UAW instruments attractive in various indications. In addition, their ergonomic design enables precise and fatigue-free work throughout the entire treatment period.

The neurosurgical LEVICS Micro instrument from Söring is characterised by its excellent design and has been specially developed for an accurate resection of intracranial and spinal tumors, preserving the surrounding structures as much as possible. Tumors of different consistencies are precisely and effectively fragmented. Thanks to its integrated aspiration these fragments are immediately removed. Additionally, the instrument impresses with its low weight which was reduced by ten percent compared to the predecessor series MS-Pen. This supports a safe working over long periods of surgery. Above all, the filigree and angled shape of the instrument body ensures an optimum view of the surgical field.

Reliable tumor removal thanks to efficient aspiration; The Micro instruments of the MS-Pen series are ideal for the microscopic resection of brain tumors. Thanks to their integrated, aspiration system, tumor fragments can be removed reliably and without interruption. The instruments are characterized by their filigree design and low weight. They are available in three versions, each with different sonotrode lengths and diameters.

Advanced neuroendoscopy with ultrasonic aspiration; When removing intra- and paraventricular lesions, it may be preferable to use a minimally invasive approach. In contrast to open surgical procedures, minimally invasive procedures allow tumors to be resected through a narrow access path.Söring  supports this surgical technique by proving the endoscopic Micro instrument ENP, the world‘s only ultrasonic aspirator. The exceptionally long sonotrode is guided through the working channel of an endoscope. This enables the simultaneous fragmentation and aspiration of deep-seated tumors of different consistencies, thus opening up new possibilities for minimally invasive surgery 3. The ENP ultrasonic aspirator can be used with the neuroendoscopic system AESCULAP® MINOP® InVent from BBraun or GAAB from KARL STORZ.

Whether for liver, neuro, spinal surgery, wound debridement or cutting and coagulation – the SONOCA 300 is the efficient specialist  for all of Söring’s ultrasonic applications.
