The company's laparoscopic surgical tools include a sheath that delivers carbon dioxide gas to the tip of a laparoscope, protecting the lens from condensation, debris, and smoke. This eliminates the need to remove the scope during laparoscopic procedures, allowing physicians to perform surgery with improved clarity. Founded in 2009 and based in Cupertino, California, FloShield is a manufacturer of products that enhance visualization during laparoscopic surgery.
