Olympus Latin America Announces Launch of New Powerseal™ Sealer/Divider Devices in Mexico

The Bipolar Surgical Energy Products Are Part of an Olympus Total Surgical Solution

MIAMI, Fla., (April 2, 2025) – Olympus Latin America announced today the expansion of its advanced bipolar surgical energy portfolio in Mexico with the launch the POWERSEAL™ Sealer/Divider family of advanced bipolar surgical energy products.

The POWERSEAL™ Sealer/Divider 5mm Devices include the POWERSEAL Curved Jaw, Double-action (CJDA) in three different lengths. The POWERSEAL Sealer/Divider is designed to meet the highest standards of clinical performance for advanced bipolar surgical energy devices by consistently delivering secure and fast vessel sealing.1 The devices are designed to promote procedural efficiency and surgeon comfort with a multifunctional feature set and carefully considered ergonomics.

The POWERSEAL devices provide surgeons with reliable sealing, dissection, and grasping capabilities in laparoscopic or open surgery while reducing the force required by the surgeon to close the jaws.2 The POWERSEAL devices are indicated for use in numerous surgical procedures including general surgery, gynecological, colorectal, bariatric, urological, thoracic, and vascular procedures.3

Features of the POWERSEAL single-use device include:

  • Strong and efficient sealing of vessels, including pulmonary vessels, tissue bundles, and lymphatics, up to and including 7mm4
  • Minimized tissue sticking on par with nano-coated products. In clinical cases, 97% of surgeons indicated that the number of jaw cleanings required with POWERSEAL is equivalent, fewer, or substantially fewer than required by their current energy device5,6
  • POWERSEAL Sealer/Divider device is available in three shaft lengths for laparoscopic and open procedures.7
  • Ergonomic comfort with reduced distance to device controls such as jaw lever and energy activation button, reduced squeeze forces, smooth jaw rotation, and a contoured handle are designed to promote comfort and ease of use.8
  • POWERSEAL Sealer/Divider device requires less squeeze force to close the jaws without sacrificing jaw force or sealing capability.9

The launch of the POWERSEAL™ Sealer/Divider in Mexico is part of a total surgical solution offered by Olympus. Last year, Olympus Latin America announced the launch of the VISERA ELITE™ III endoscopic visualization platform designed to support multiple specialties, including general surgery, urology, gynecology and ENT.

VISERA ELITE III offers advanced imaging modalities such as 4K imaging, Narrow Band Imaging™ and Yellow Enhancement mode, which helps identify anatomical structures like nerves, arteries, ureter and pleura that are surrounded by fatty tissue. VISERA ELITE™ III represents innovation that grows with the customer by offering backward compatibility with rigid and flexible scopes, camera heads and ENDOEYE™ videoscopes. The platform offers increased efficiencies by supporting a wide surgery portfolio, including the THUNDERBEAT™ and SONICBEAT™ portfolios.

“With a goal of improving patient outcomes at the core of everything we do, Olympus is excited to bring an expanded advanced bipolar surgical energy portfolio to Latin America,” said Jose Gaston, President, Olympus Latin America Inc. “The combination of new POWERSEAL™ devices and our VISERA ELITE™ III endoscopic visualization platform offers physicians a complete surgical solution meant to elevate the standard of patient care across several specialties, by offering the most advanced solutions for minimally invasive procedures.”
