AccessGUDID Info
- FDA Product Code: GEI
- FDA Product Code Name: Electrosurgical, cutting & coagulation & accessories
- GMDN Term Code: 61878
- GMDN Term Name: Inert gas-enhanced endoscopic electrosurgical electrode, single-use
- GMDN Term Description: An invasive, distal component of an inert gas-enhanced electrosurgical system intended to deliver electrosurgical current within a stream of inert gas [e.g., argon (Ar), helium (He)] directly to tissues for cutting/coagulation/ablation during an endoscopic (including laparoscopic, arthroscopic) surgical procedure. It is a long thin device with no controls, typically designed as a coaxial arrangement of a monopolar electrode within a gas delivery tube/sleeve, which requires a patient contact return electrode to complete the circuit. It is available in a variety of forms (e.g., rigid laparoscopic electrode, flexible endoscopic probe). This is a single-use device.
Manufacturer
Covidien’s AutoSuture business now resides within Medtronic’s Surgical Operating Unit, under the Medical Surgical Portfolio. This group is focused on delivering advanced technologies for minimally invasive surgery, with a deep legacy in surgical stapling, energy devices, and laparoscopic instrumentation.
Key products from the former AutoSuture line include:
- Endo GIA™ staplers and reloads – a flagship line of linear cutting staplers used in a variety of laparoscopic and open procedures.
- Signia™ – a powered stapling platform offering real-time feedback and adaptive firing technology.
- LigaSure™ – a trusted vessel sealing system for tissue fusion and hemostasis.
- VersaOne™ trocars – for secure and versatile access during minimally invasive surgery.
- Sonicision™ – cordless ultrasonic dissection tools that combine energy and precision.
These technologies form the backbone of Medtronic’s minimally invasive surgical portfolio, originally developed under the AutoSuture brand by U.S. Surgical Corporation, then acquired by Tyco Healthcare, which later became Covidienbefore merging with Medtronic in 2015. Today, Medtronic continues to build on this heritage, delivering solutions that enhance efficiency, precision, and outcomes in the operating room.
