Guardenia™ Contained Extraction System

Only available in the USA

Guardenia™ is an all-new contained extraction system for extracorporeal manual morcellation use during Gynecological and other procedures. It is simple to deploy through a standard 12 mm trocar. The uniquely-designed guard will open during the deployment and create protection against inadvertent damage from sharp instruments around the incision margin and through the incision.

Easy

The system can be deployed through a standard 12 mm trocar. The system uses a roll down technology for wound retraction which is familiar to surgeons.
The guard automatically conforms to the shape and size of the incision and various abdominal wall thicknesses to provide maximal protection of the containment bag.
Deployment of the containment bag can be done under pneumoperitoneum either with or without vision.
The guard is integrated in the retraction sleeve. No additional step is needed to place the guard.

Safe

Guardenia is a containment system designed to help prevent the escape of cells into the abdominal cavity during extracorporeal manual morcellation.
The integrated guard provides protection against inadvertent damage from sharp instruments around the incision margin and through the incision.
Bag material is designed to be impermeable to the passage of liquid or tissue, measured down to a cellular level.
The guard protects a greater area of the bag when compared to currently marketed devices.1
The guard provides superior protection of the bag when compared to currently marketed devices.1
Once in place, the guard provides more durable protection of the bag and the incision over a larger area across all incision sizes (25 mm-60 mm) and abdomen thicknesses (10 mm-80 mm) tested than the Alexis CES.1
The yellow anchor ring ensures that the containment bag is kept out of the operative area.

Versatile

Provides a larger operating space through the incision than the Alexis CES Guard, as it encroaches less into the incision.1
One size fits all (in relation to bag size and tissue specimen).
Maximizes the available space in the incision. Guardenia allows 50% more space for the same linear incision size as offered by other marketed devices.1
The device works across multiport, robotic and single-port surgery.
