NUTH, The Netherlands and SAN DIEGO, Oct. 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fortimedix Surgical today announced it has received CE Mark approval for FMX314, the world’s first single-port surgery solution that is compatible with a standard 15mm trocar for use in minimally invasive abdominal laparoscopic surgery.

Because it is the first single-port platform that is compatible with a standard 15mm laparoscopic trocar, FMX314 holds the promise of fewer port-site complications, less post-operative pain, faster recovery and exceptional cosmesis compared with conventional multi-port laparoscopic surgery.

FMX314 emulates conventional, multi-port laparoscopy, making it easy to use and enabling surgeons to perform procedural steps ergonomically, allowing for a comfortable and secure single-port approach.

FMX314 will be launched in the U.S. during the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress, taking place October 16 – 20, 2016 in Washington, D.C. at booth #1139. A European commercial launch is planned for 2017.
