Covidien Medtronic 21-345 Clearify Visualization System - All-in-One Scope Cleaner (Box of 10)

Covidien Clearify Visualization System | Laparoscopic Scope Care | 21-345

The Covidien 21-345 Clearify Visualization System is an all-in-one procedural solution engineered to maintain optical clarity and protect endoscope lenses during advanced laparoscopic surgeries. This specialized, multi-functional device combines warming, defogging, lens cleaning, and structural scope protection within a single sterile field housing.

By keeping the laparoscope lens warm and coated with an integrated anti-fogging surfactant solution, the Clearify system completely eliminates the intraoperative condensation and condensation fogging that occurs when a room-temperature scope enters a warm, humid abdominal cavity.

Key Performance Features

• Rapid Thermal Warming Block: The internal anti-fogging solution reservoir warms up in approximately 5 minutes and maintains its optimal thermal barrier properties for up to 5 hours, covering long, complex surgical cases.

• Integrated Trocar Wipe System: Includes a specialized, dense Trocar Wipe element designed to rapidly remove lipids, blood droplets, and tissue debris from the internal seal of the surgical trocar, preventing the scope from becoming re-contaminated during insertion.

• Universal Laparoscope Compatibility: Outfitted with a flexible internal reducer sleeve that accommodates and seals around all standard laparoscope diameters ranging from 5 mm to 12 mm.

• Five-Second Core Cleaning Cycle: Features a built-in cleaning pad that allows the scrub tech or surgeon to clean, defog, and coat the distal lens tip in under 5 seconds, significantly reducing frustrating operating room workflow delays.

• True White Balance Target: Incorporates a dedicated, glare-free structural white balancer surface directly on the hub housing, enabling precise intraoperative camera calibration crucial for accurate tissue differentiation.

Clinical and Institutional Advantages

• Protects Expensive Optical Assets: Eliminates the risky field practice of using rough gauze, improvisational wipes, or unsafe hot water baths to clear scope fog, preventing permanent scratches or thermal shock cracks on delicate rod-lens assemblies.

• Enhances Patient Safety Outcomes: Maintaining a clear view minimizes accidental tissue nicks, unmanaged bleeding spots, and tool positioning errors caused by impaired visual feedback.

• Streamlines Operating Room Workflows: Sourcing these genuine Covidien surplus kits allows ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and hospitals to optimize laparoscopic turnaround efficiencies and lower per-case consumable costs compared to direct OEM contract pricing tiers.

Ideal Applications

• General Laparoscopic Surgery: Cholecystectomies, appendectomies, bariatric conversions, and hernia repairs.

• Gynecological Laparoscopy: Hysterectomies, exploratory pelvic sweeps, and ovarian cystectomies.

• Urological Laparoscopic Interventions: Nephrectomies, prostatectomies, and adrenal tumor dissections.

Condition and Quality Assurance

• Status: Brand New, Factory Fresh Surplus Stock.

• Sterility Mapping: Every system tray is fully enclosed in its original, untampered medical peel-pouch packaging to ensure complete sterile barrier validation.

• Procedural Handling Advisory: Open and introduce the Clearify tray onto the sterile back table at the start of case setup. Activate the internal warming component according to standard operating room protocols to ensure the fluid reservoir reaches the correct anti-condensation temperature before the primary incision is completed.
