Encision Medical Supplies in Boulder, CO
Founded in 1991, Encision has dedicated over three decades to revolutionizing patient safety in laparoscopic surgery. Our founders, Roger Odell and Dave Newton, identified a critical flaw in traditional monopolar instrumentstheir susceptibility to insulation failure and capacitive coupling, which can cause preventable patient burns. In response, we developed Active Electrode Monitoring (AEM) technology, a groundbreaking solution that eliminates stray energy burns by electrically shielding surgical instruments.Today, our comprehensive line of AEM-integrated laparoscopic tools, including the AEM EndoShield Burn Protection System, sets the standard for clinical effectiveness and safety. Recognized by the FDA and aligned with AORN guidelines, our innovations are trusted by healthcare institutions nationwide. We remain committed to advancing surgical safety through continuous research, education, and partnerships, ensuring every procedure prioritizes patient well-being while delivering exceptional clinical performance.

Laparoscopic Instruments
Encisions laparoscopic instruments integrate patented AEM technology to eliminate stray energy burns during minimally invasive surgeries. These tools provide unmatched precision and safety by electrically shielding the instrument shaft, preventing complications from insulation failure and capacitive coupling. Clinicians benefit from enhanced performance while ensuring patient safety.
AEM Burn Protection Systems
The AEM EndoShield system prevents surgical burns through real-time monitoring of electrosurgical energy. This plug-and-play solution detects and neutralizes stray energy, reducing risks of unintended patient injuries. It combines safety with high performance, aligning with FDA and AORN guidelines for electrosurgical practices.
Shield+ ENT Technology
Shield+ ENT ablation technology eliminates perioral burns during tonsillectomies by diverting stray energy away from patients. It delivers rapid, reliable RF hemostasis while reducing procedural costs. This innovation addresses a common complication in ENT surgeries, enhancing both safety and efficiency.
