San Francisco, California (PRWEB) December 18, 2014 The healthcare sector is witnessing a transition from the conventional surgery to minimally invasive surgery. This transition was initiated with the advent of laparoscopic surgery being accepted globally owing to the ease associated with it for both the clinicians and patients. Minimally invasive surgery is the next step of laparoscopic surgery, and is gaining momentum as a consequence of the better outcomes it provides in terms of post-operative pain. The patients return to functional activity quickly and have fewer complications during and post the surgical intervention. Thus, increasing awareness among the patient population towards less traumatic, minimal incision procedures and preventive healthcare are the major driver attributing the minimally invasive surgery market. Growth of Minimally Invasive Surgery market can also be attributed to technological innovations in the field of Telemedicine and medical robotics.

WORCESTER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VitaThreads LLC today reported that the National Institute of General Medical Sciences1 has awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I Grant for the study of the VitaSuture Wound Management Systems (VWMS). VitaThreads will collaborate with Kevin Smith, MD, Clinical Associate Professor of Plastic Surgery, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of North Carolina (UNC) Chapel Hill. The objective of the Phase I Grant, entitled, "Fibrin Sutures for Non-scarring Wound Closure" will be to optimize the performance characteristics of VWMS. Dr. Smith commented, Im excited to collaborate with VitaThreads as part of this SBIR Phase I Grant award. Facial suture technology has not appreciably advanced over the past many years and I believe that devices which enable rapid, scar-free healing offer the best clinical option for patients undergoing facial wound repair for aesthetic procedures. The data I have seen from VitaThreads VWMS technology suggests an opportunity to achieve this objective. I look forward to working with VitaThreads to further develop VWMS and seeing this device enter the clinic. VitaThreads previously reported that the company had met the primary endpoint of incision closure and secondary histological endpoints in pre-clinical in-vivo animal studies. VWMS demonstrated successful … Continue reading →

Now that taking a selfie is part of our social media exchanges, a new report says its causing a rise in plastic surgery procedures. According to a Reuters report, which cites a survey from the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), individuals who went under the knife did so to feel more comfortable taking a photo on their smartphone. According to the AAFPRS report, released in March, those surveyed noted that one of the "rising trends in practices" for 2014 is that patients are "seeking cosmetic procedures to look better in selfies, Instagram and other social media sites." Reuters spoke with a Manhattan plastic surgeon who said, "There has been a 25 percent increase over the past year and a half to two years. That is very significant. They come in with their iPhones and show me pictures." He added, "Selfies are just getting to be so crazy... I refuse a significant proportion of patients with selfies because I believe it is not a real image of what they actually look like in person." FastCompany.com, however, says Reuters report blaming selfies for the increased plastic surgery demand isnt entirely accurate. The AAFPRS survey also found other causes, … Continue reading →
