A surgeon's vision shouldn't be compromised during laparoscopic procedures.
In fact, we believe laparoscopes shouldn't get dirty in the first place. Which is why we developed FloShield.
Clear vision should be the standard.
We think surgeons should have consistent, clear vision for every procedure. So we designed FloShield.
The FloShield system includes a sheath that directs carbon dioxide gas (CO2) to the tip of a laparoscope and actively protects the lens from condensation, debris and smoke. We call it Vortex Barrier Technology™, and it reduces, and in many cases eliminates, the need to remove a scope during laparoscopic procedures.
FloShield is available with Flo-X in situ, which allows surgeons to flush the lens intra-operatively. The ability to clean the lens without removing a scope greatly enhances the surgical flow while potentially reducing the length and overall costs of procedures.

Keeping laparoscopes clean doesn't need to be complicated.
FloShield connects to existing insufflation tubing and diverts a portion of CO2 down the FloShield sheath to the tip of the scope. The all-inclusive system eliminates the need for other defogging and cleaning products. FloShield is simply set-up at the beginning of a case, taken off at the end of a case, and not thought about otherwise.
