The HiQ+ Series

The Olympus HiQ+ hand instruments for laparoscopic surgery have been designed with form, fit and function in mind, as today’s surgeons depend on laparoscopic instrumentation day in day out. 

• HiQ+ Monopolar and standard hand instruments  

   

  OPTIMIZED ERGONOMICS
  Olympus designed the HiQ+ handles to be ergonomically sound to provide increased comfort over a long period of use.  The smooth curved handle shape provides extra comfort while enabling multiple hand positions tailored to a variety of laparoscopic procedures and anatomies.

  THE "EASY CLICK " MECHANISM
  Assembly and disassembly is easy and self-explanatory, avoiding time wasted whilst preparing the instrument for surgical use and reprocessing.  The HiQ+ "EASYCLICK" mechanism reduces the time and effort during assembly and disassembly.

   

  Safe and reliable HF application by HiQ+ extended insulation	RELIABLE AND SAFE The extended insulation allows safe and reliable performance during High Frequency applications.  Both the CAM and SL joint designs operate without protruding parts, which are a potential source of HF leakage in conventional crossjoints. STRONG AND PRECISE Surgeons demand strong and precise jaw performance in all applications. Olympus engineers developed two dedicated joint mechanism to give the surgeon perfect tissue control: CAM mechanism for grasping and SL mechanism for dissecting.
  Highest degree of mechanical performance by using CAM & SL jaw design
  Grasping: The CAM joint mechanism enables maximum force transmission during jaw closure ensuring strong and precise control with minimal effort.
  Dissecting: The SL joint mechanism enables maximum force transmission during jaw opening ensuring strong and precise tissue separation with minimal effort.
  HiQ+ Needle Holder
  The HiQ+ needle holders and knot pushers are designed to meet the highest expectations towards functionality, ergonomics and up-to-date reprocessing.

• Straight needle holder
• Curved needle holder
• Self-aligning needle holder

The modular design allows for easy assembly, disassembly and cleaning.  All parts are autoclavable.

OPTIMIZED ERGONOMICS
The HiQ+ needle holder handle meets highest demands towards ergonomics. Olympus engineers work together closely with experts in ergonomics to design the handle as "an extension to a surgeons hand".

• HiQ+ Suction and Irrigation

The HiQ+ suction/irrigation system is optimized for streamlined flow throughout all components, from inflow to outflow, thus enabling better passage of immersed blood clots or stones. The modular system with a range of suction/irrigation tubes offers tailored solutions for a variety of laparoscopic procedures and anatomies. The HiQ suction/irrigation system combines excellent performance with surgeon oriented ergonomics and high-end quality.

	CUSTOMIZABLE SYSTEM Olympus is offering a wide range of suction/irrgation tubes for its HiQ+ system: Diameters of 3, 5 and 10 mm Working lengths of 360 and 450 mm Multiple tip designs, e.g. for harvesting lost gall bladder stones or aspirating hydrops
	OPTIMIZED ERGONOMICS Choice of two ergonomically designed handles for differing irrigation needs: Active handle with lever controlled suction/irrigation control at your finger tips Passive handle for foot switch control in combination with pumps REPROCESSING AT EASE The HiQ+ suction/irrigation system is designed for maximum ease of use during assembly/disassembly and cleaning.  All components are easily detachable and autoclavable
