The safety and effectiveness of the Symani Surgical System for lymphatic reconstruction for brain disease has NOT been established by any regulatory agency.
The Symani Surgical System is indicated in the U.S. for soft tissue manipulation in open microsurgical procedures to perform:
- Anastomosis, suturing, and ligation microsurgery techniques on small blood vessels and lymphatic ducts between 0.1 and 2.5mm in open free-flap surgery of the breast, mouth, scalp, and extremities and in open lymphatic surgery of the extremities.
- Dissection of soft tissues.
Clinical indications vary by geography. Refer to global indications for more information. For risks, cautions, warnings, and full prescribing information, please reference Symani safety and performance information.
