Perform Power Morcellation Safely and Effectively
In February, the FDA recommended performing laparoscopic power
morcellation GYN procedures only with a tissue containment sys-
tem. The PneumoLiner, made by Advanced Surgical Concepts and
distributed by Olympus, is the only tissue containment system
cleared by the FDA for use during power morcellation. It provides a
barrier between target tissue and the abdominal wall, and maintains
a barrier to contain fluids, cells and tissue fragments. The inflatable
device conforms to the patient's abdominal size to prevent the fold-
ing that can restrict the movement of the morcellator and limit the
surgeon's visualization.
