Cadence Laparoscopic Suction-Irrigation Device

Description

Multigate’s Cadence SI is a sterile, single-use, non-powered laparoscopic suction and irrigation device for endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures. It delivers irrigation fluid into a body cavity and aspirates fluid and debris to help maintain a clear operating field. The system combines intuitive controls with adaptable ergonomics to support efficient intraoperative fluid management.

Key features and design

• Single patient use only; not reusable and not re-sterilisable
• Ergonomic handpiece designed to improve comfort and reduce surgeon fatigue
• Intuitive operation with color-coded icons and a grooved suction button to distinguish suction from irrigation
• Convertible grip allows pistol or trumpet grip by swapping the shaft cap and secondary cap (tighten caps clockwise and ensure both are securely attached before operation)
• Simplified internal mechanism to promote leak-free performance
• Dual shaft attachment for quick, secure switching between grip configurations
• Precision swage tip supports consistent irrigation flow without compromising suction
• Flexible tubing for improved maneuverability
• Components/connectors: removable button clip and plastic sleeve (remove before use), shaft cap, secondary cap, single or dual irrigation bag spikes, and a blue suction connector for connection to a suction canister

Specifications and configurations

• Shaft diameter: 5 mm (standard)
• Shaft lengths: 33 cm or 45 cm
• Tubing length: 3.7 m
• Spike options: single spike or dual spike
• Optional accessory: 10 mm diameter, 33 cm suction/irrigation shaft compatible with the handpiece

Setup and operation

• Set up and operate using aseptic technique
• Remove the button clip before connecting to irrigation bags
• Insert the tubing spikes into irrigation fluid bags; use clamps to control flow
• Connect the blue suction connector to a suction canister
• Prime and test the device before surgeon use; a pressure device may be applied to the irrigation bag if increased flow is required
• If supplied with the shaft unconnected, attach it to the handpiece in the preferred configuration before use

Warnings and precautions

• Do not use if the package is opened or damaged
• Ensure both the shaft cap and secondary cap are securely screwed in before operation
• Do not connect to irrigation bags unless the button clip has been removed
• Not designed for use with powdered irrigation fluid supply systems
• Endoscopic procedures should be performed only by adequately trained surgeons familiar with electrosurgical techniques and associated hazards

Contraindications

• Not intended for use when endoscopic techniques are contraindicated

Recognition

• Good Design Australia Gold Award for design and innovation
