The HERMES-Ready™ Total Performance System is intended for use in the cutting, drilling, reaming, decorticating, and smoothing of bone and other bone related tissue in a variety of surgical procedures. Procedures for use on bone are often in orthopedics, dental, oral surgery, maxilliofacial, plastics, ENT, and neurological. It is also used in the placement of screws, wires, pins, and other fixation devices. It can also be used to cut metal.
The endoscopic applications with TPS include use of the SES Small Joint Shaver in the wrist for any need for morselization of tissue within the joint. Cutters will be used to debride synovitis, articular cartilage flaps, or torn ligaments when surgeons deem resection appropriate. Burs are indicated for management of osseous lesions such as eburnated articular surfaces or osteophytes.
The Hermes aspect of this device allows the surgeon to remotely control the input parameters (panel selection options) through voice control technology, via a headset. Optional pendant control (wired remote), and conventional footswitch control are also available. The HERMES system allows voice and pendant control of the SES Shaver with buttons handpiece only.
