Johnson & Johnson MedTech (J&J MedTech) has launched the Dualto Energy System, an advanced surgical solution with multiple energy modalities for open and minimally invasive surgeries.
The Dualto system is designed to help clinical teams power monopolar, bipolar, ultrasonic, and advanced bipolar instruments from a single platform.
It features a modular design and flexible architecture, reducing the footprint by up to 46% compared to separate generators.
The system incorporates the company’s in-house Adaptive Tissue Technology, which enhances the performance of Harmonic and Enseal devices.
The technology intelligently responds to changing tissue conditions, regulates energy delivery for improved temperature management.
Also, it provides real-time feedback through tone changes and user signals, ensuring more precise energy delivery.
The Dualto system is compatible with the company’s Polyphonic Fleet application and is engineered for future compatibility with its Ottava Robotic Surgical System.
It is the first surgical energy system offering a double configuration, enabling two surgeons to activate simultaneous energy from one unit during complex procedures.
Johnson & Johnson MedTech surgery group chairman Hani Abouhalka said: “The Dualto Energy System represents a significant advancement in human-centric design, delivering a fully connected solution that simplifies surgical energy and enhances efficiencies in the OR.
“Johnson & Johnson MedTech has been a trusted partner in surgery for over a century, and we are leveraging clinical insights to tailor the design of our technologies to meet the needs of surgeons and clinical teams. Dualto supports a more flexible and digitally connected OR ecosystem for the future of surgical care.”
According to J&J MedTech Dualto system’s design prioritises usability with a touchscreen interface that guides setup and troubleshooting.
It features visual and auditory cues for real-time feedback and operating room workflows.
The system can store personalised profiles for different surgeons and procedures, facilitating faster setup and adjustments through custom energy settings.
Polyphonic Fleet software application assists hospitals in managing capital equipment and provides updates on the system’s status, software upgrades, and maintenance needs.
It enables remote instructions and ensures the latest software is installed without disrupting the operating room schedule.
The Polyphonic digital ecosystem, including Polyphonic Fleet, aims to connect data across surgical technologies, robotics, and software, leveraging Johnson & Johnson’s global scale.
J&J MedTech will commercialise the Dualto Energy System and Polyphonic Fleet to select hospitals in specific markets, while the Ottava System remains under development.
Johnson & Johnson MedTech digital vice president Shan Jegatheeswaran said: “Johnson & Johnson MedTech’s Polyphonic ecosystem will enable new experiences across our portfolio of medical devices, robotics, and software solutions.
“Dualto combines advanced energy technology with Polyphonic Fleet’s ecosystem to provide remote support. We are excited to empower healthcare teams with capabilities for more connected OR devices.”
