Mellon has reinvented suturing. Classical suturing requires multiple orchestrated movements of both hands in order to place a single suture. In contrast, the Switch® requires just a pinch of the thumb and index finger. With only one hand needed to operate the device, the surgeon can use the other hand to present the tissue. Suturing is performed with great efficiency, as the needle no longer needs to transfer from one hand to the other.
