(WorldFrontNews Editorial):- Fayetteville, Arkansas Nov 2, 2023 (Issuewire.com) – Lapovations, a medical device company creating a platform of innovative products to improve laparoscopy, is excited to announce the promotion of Spencer Jones from his dual role as Chief Technology Officer & VP of Sales to Chief Executive Officer. Jones replaces Jared Greer, who has accepted a role as Chief Executive Officer at Bladder & Bowel Institute, the world’s leading provider of advanced therapy for bladder and bowel control issues. Greer will remain as Chairman of the Board for Lapovations while stepping away from involvement in day-to-day operations.

During that time, Lineus took SafeBreak® Vascular from idea to FDA clearance, securing multiple U.S. and international patents along the way.

Lapovations’ flagship product AbGrab® is a revolutionary surgical assist device that allows surgeons to lift the abdominal wall more reliably and less invasively at the beginning of laparoscopy, or minimally invasive surgery of the abdomen. AbGrab®, launched in Q4 of 2022, has sales representatives in 19 states across the US and is exploring international distribution.

Though often the shortest part of a laparoscopic procedure, laparoscopic abdominal entry accounts for ~50% of serious laparoscopic complications and litigations related to laparoscopy[1],[2]. To reduce this risk, surgeons will lift the abdominal wall before entry, but current lifting techniques can be unreliable or invasive. AbGrab® uses suction to provide a more reliable, less invasive way to elevate the abdominal wall.
