"Medical device company advancing laparoscopic surgery with automated lens cleaning technology"
Cipher Surgical designs OpClear, a laparoscopic lens cleaning device that maintains continuous surgical vision by automating fog reduction and debris removal. The system attaches to surgical scopes, using CO2 flow with on demand saline wash to eliminate visual obstructions. Clinical evidence shows it saves over 13 minutes per procedure and reduces scope removal events by 97 percent. Healthcare professionals across general surgery, bariatric surgery, gynaecology, urology, colorectal surgery, and robotic surgery use OpClear to reduce operative time, minimise errors, and improve patient outcomes. The technology addresses a challenge where impaired vision forces surgeons to repeatedly remove and manually clean scopes, disrupting surgical flow.
