By Lisa Kerner

Erie, Pa., May 1 - Boston Scientific Corp. announced the U.S. launch of the Vasoview 7 Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System and Vasoview HemoPro Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System by the company's cardiac surgery business, formerly part of Guidant.

Endoscopic vessel harvesting, which allows for removal of a vein from the leg or an artery from the arm through one small incision, has been shown to reduce postoperative pain, recovery time, infection rates and scarring.

Vasoview 7 uses an ergonomic platform to streamline harvesting while the Vasoview HemoPro improves the efficiency of the harvesting process through a one-step activation mechanism, according to a company news release.

Based in Natick, Mass., Boston Scientific develops, manufactures and markets medical devices used in a broad range of interventional medical specialties.
