Description: This case was the first in which we used the updated Vessel Sealer.It has a better grip, longer seal and cut(3mm), and short time needed to seal vessels.We were able to achieve a $220 cost savings as we did not need a cutting needle driver. Overall I think this is a significant improvement and an example of how robotic surgery can achieve even more cost savings as the technology improves.
