symphonX is launched in the US by Fortimedix Surgical for use in minimally invasive abdominal laparoscopic surgery.

Fortimedix Surgical announced the official launch in the U.S. of symphonX, the world�s first single-port surgery solution that is compatible with a standard 15mm trocar for use in minimally invasive abdominal laparoscopic surgery, during the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress.

symphonX addresses unmet needs in minimally invasive surgery by providing the medical community with a surgical solution that is small, simple and secure. Emulating conventional, multi-port laparoscopy, makes symphonX easy to use and enables surgeons to perform procedural steps ergonomically, allowing for a comfortable and secure single-port approach. The first two U.S. commercial procedures with symphonX were recently performed at UC San Diego Health by Dr.Santiago Horgan, following 510(k) clearance in the U.S. and CE Mark approval in Europe. The European commercial launch is planned for 2017.
