MEDICAL DEVICE INNOVATION
SVEC Medical
Practical solutions to real-world clinical challenges
SVEC Medical is a medical device company focused on identifying unmet clinical needs and developing practical solutions that improve patient care and clinician workflow.
The Problem
Foreign Body Removal Shouldn't Be This Difficult
Foreign bodies and debris in the ear canal are common presentations in emergency departments, urgent care centers, pediatric clinics, and primary care offices. Existing removal techniques can be time-consuming, frustrating, and often require multiple instruments or repeat attempts.
Introducing Visivac™
Simultaneous Visualization and Suction
VisiVac™ is a disposable adapter that combines visualization and suction through a standard otoscope. By allowing clinicians to see and remove foreign bodies through a single workflow, VisiVac™ is designed to simplify procedures that often require multiple instruments and repeated attempts.
Why Visivac™
Designed for Clinical Efficiency
VisiVac™ is designed to simplify foreign body and debris removal by combining visualization and suction into a single workflow. The result is a streamlined approach that helps clinicians maintain focus on the patient rather than switching between instruments.
Maintain Visualization
See the Object Throughout Removal
Traditional removal techniques may require repeated instrument exchanges or loss of visualization. VisiVac™ is designed to help clinicians maintain visualization while performing suction-assisted removal.
Integrated Suction
Visualization and Suction in One Workflow
By combining suction capability with a standard otoscope, VisiVac™ reduces the need for multiple instruments and simplifies common foreign body and debris removal procedures.
Familiar Platform
Designed for Standard Otoscopes
VisiVac™ is designed to integrate with otoscopes already found in emergency departments, urgent care centers, pediatric clinics, ENT practices, and primary care offices.
Development Process
From Concept to Prototype
VisiVac™ originated from a common clinical challenge encountered in emergency and pediatric care: the difficulty of removing ear foreign bodies while maintaining visualization of the target. To address this need, SVEC Medical developed a functional prototype that integrates suction directly with a standard otoscope, creating a streamlined approach to foreign body and debris removal.
The prototype has been successfully developed and is protected by issued U.S. patent rights. Current efforts are focused on continued refinement, bench testing, and commercialization planning to bring VisiVac™ to clinicians and patients nationwide.
