FDA has cleared a 270Surgical Ltd. 510(k) for its SurroundScope System, which the company describes as the first laparoscopic camera system to offer up to 270-degree field-of-view (FoV). The device was designed and developed to address restricted FoV. The company says that most laparoscopes operate under a 70 to 90-degree FoV, which limits the types of procedures that are performed laparoscopically.  

SurroundScope’s 270-degree FoV is an increase of 200% compared to other laparoscopes on the market, 270Surgical says. Their technology comprises hardware, software and electro-optics that incorporate a myriad of lenses at the distal end of the scope. The expanded field of view should improve general surgery, trauma, OBGYN, and thoracic surgery procedures, the company says.
