Boulder, Colorado medical device company founded in 1991 making Active Electrode Monitoring (AEM) laparoscopic instruments to prevent stray energy burns.
Encision Inc. was founded in 1991 by Roger Odell and Dave Newton and is headquartered at 6797 Winchester Circle, Boulder, Colorado 80301, USA. The company designs, develops, manufactures, and markets patented monopolar laparoscopic surgical instruments incorporating its proprietary Active Electrode Monitoring (AEM) technology. AEM instruments electrically shield the instrument shaft to eliminate patient burns from stray energy caused by insulation failure or capacitive coupling — hazards inherent in traditional monopolar laparoscopic surgery.
Encision's product portfolio includes articulating scissors, graspers, dissectors, fixed-tip electrodes, and suction-irrigation electrodes with integrated AEM shielding. The company holds 11 unexpired US patents on AEM technology and equivalent patents in Europe, Japan, Canada, and Australia. Encision has received multiple FDA 510(k) clearances for its instrument lines and is a publicly traded company.
Its products are used in laparoscopic procedures across hospitals performing minimally invasive surgery.
