Olympus PK TECHNOLOGY - Powering Gynecology

PK TECHNOLOGY is an impedance-controlled bipolar energy system that is designed specifically to enhance performance and versatility in laparoscopic gynecological surgery. It offers a complete range of multifunctional laparoscopic instruments, each individually designed for a specific application area.

PK TECHNOLOGY is an effective technology that has over ten years of proven clinical history and that:
· is safer than traditional energy technologies, such as monopolar or conventional bipolar*
· is associated with reduced operation time and high patient satisfaction*,
· eliminates the risk of electrical injury*,
· minimizes thermal damage to the tissue*
