Smartwire?

Ultrasound-guided ligament release surgery using a non-incisional method is a surgical technique that offers the advantage of performing the surgery without making a skin incision. However, if the performance of the medical device used in this procedure is insufficient, it becomes difficult to carry out the surgery safely and effectively.

Smartwire is a non-incisional ligament release surgery-specific medical device optimized through patented technology (Patent No. 10-2327714, Patent Applications in the U.S. and Europe), and its safety and efficacy have been proven through multiple clinical papers.

The surface has become much smoother, but it still exhibits powerful tensile strength and cutting ability sufficient to easily dissect the thickened ligament.

Its excellent ultrasound visibility minimizes the risk of incomplete ligament dissection, which can cause recurrence, as well as the possibility of damage to nerves and blood vessels.

It possesses appropriate elasticity, enhancing maneuverability during procedures.
