Ultravision - Electrostatic Precipitation System
Ultravision is the only product in its field that uses the proven process of electrostatic precipitation to eliminate surgical smoke. This unique mode of action delivers "advanced visualisation": a continuously clear visual field, reduced camera cleaning, and stable pneumoperitoneum. Ultravision also provides best-in-class control of bioaerosols, being 23-times more effective than smoke evacuators in minimising the release of bioaerosols into the OR during surgery.*
Standard smoke evacuation systems require a constant flow of CO2 in order to clear the visual field from surgical smoke. This requires excessive use of CO2, with potentially negative effects on the patient.
The electrostatic precipitation method enables a number of benefits including improved visualisation, stable pneumoperitoneum, reduced camera cleaning, reduced exposure to surgical smoke; and the facilitation of low pressure, low flow surgery, which is associated with improved patient outcomes.*
Use of Ultravision is straightforward and involves five simple steps:
- Establish a patient return path to Ultravision™ using a patient electrode: The patient electrode can be shared with monopolar diathermy using an Ultravision™ patient return adaptor
- Select either 5mm Trocar or Ionwand pack
- Decide Ionwand™ placement and introduce to the abdominal cavity using the trocar or catheter
- Switch on the Ultravision™ generator before cutting tissue
- Switch off Ultravision™ generator when cutting is complete
Ultravision™ helps healthcare providers deliver best-in-class care for their staff and patients by providing the only solution that delivers advanced visualisation, prevents surgical smoke from entering the OR whilst minimising patient carbon dioxide exposure during laparoscopic surgery.

Ultravision compared to the competition...
In tests, Ultravision outperforms its competitors when measured against key performance indicators for improved laparoscopic surgery. Electrostatic precipitation used by Ultravision clears the visual field, controls surgical smoke, and manages CO2. This creates multiple benefits for the surgeon, the patient and OR staff. Alongside procedural benefits there are also benefits to welfare of staff, reduction in returns to hospital, and overall cost savings.
Ultravision™ has undergone a variety of rigorous independent tests, achieving outstanding results.
Ultravision consistently meets its primary objective of providing a clear visual field. Unlike some of its competitors, Ultravision’s technology ensures other ‘knock on’ effects are avoided, allowing it to achieve exceptional all-round results.
The below data highlights the ‘game-changing’ results achieved by Ultravision when measuring visualisation, surgical smoke management, CO2 management, and the procedural efficiencies achieved.
Ultravision consistently delivers advanced visualisation, optimising procedural performance
Ultravision™ can be used in laparoscopic or robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery.
It has been evaluated in a range of procedures and is regularly used by gynaecologists, urologists, colorectal and upper gastrointestinal surgeons.
Clinical assessments have rated the visual clarity as “good” or “excellent” and laparoscopic surgeons consistently report they are “satisfied” or “highly satisfied” with Ultravision™.*
