Based out of Elgin, Illinois, NTI has been designing, manufacturing, and innovating minimally invasive surgical devices since 1984. Historically known for the distribution of their stone management environment lithotripsy devices and insufflators, NTI introduced the direct sales of the NEBULAE SRS in March 2022. Surgical smoke has been a documented issue for the operating room since the 1970’s and currently state legislations have begun taking action to reduce exposure to the staff and patient through mandating the use of surgical smoke removal device in the OR.
The NEBUALE SRS is the only device within the current market with a closed-loop system that removes surgical smoke, filters the hazards into a series of closed filters, and returns cleaned CO2 back into the patient thus maintaining pressure for the entirety of the procedure, eliminating exposure completely, and drastically reducing CO2 usage.
“NTI is very excited to be recognized at the 2023 Edison Awards. To have the NEBULAE SRS be recognized as an innovative product by such a globally respected leader is very exciting and we are proud to participate.”
-Brian Weigand, NTI Director of Sales
