MID Named One of the 50 Medical Device Companies to Watch

Columbus surgical device developer, Minimally Invasive Devices (MID), has been selected by Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry (MD + DI) as one of the 50 Companies to Watch in 2010.  MD + DI editors identified those companies within the medical device industry that have not only achieved success, but also have the potential to revolutionize care practices.  Editors say this list is neither a ranking nor a prediction of the most-likely-to-succeed companies but are companies that are making outstanding contributions to healthcare and are expected to continue doing so. 

MID was chosen for its FloShield system whose core technology improves surgeon visualization.  During laparoscopic procedures, condensation can form on the end of the laparoscope, which can obscure vision. Instead of removing the scope during surgery to remove debris and fogging from the lens, FloShield flows carbon dioxide over the lens to keep it clean.
