Pioneering Innovation in Minimally Invasive Surgery.
NTI specializes in the development of software-controlled medical devices and specialty products designed to enhance the surgical environment. Its portfolio includes advanced, user-friendly, and highly reliable tools tailored for various surgical disciplines, including urology, gastroenterology, colorectal surgery, gynecology, bariatrics, and pediatrics.
By offering solutions that support both minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures, NTI has positioned itself as a leading innovator in the field. Among its key products are the NEBULAE I Insufflation System, NEBULAE Smoke Removal System (SRS), and StimSite, all of which contribute to safer and more efficient surgical procedures.
Enhancing Surgical Environments with Cutting-Edge Technology.
One of the critical aspects of minimally invasive surgery is maintaining stable pneumoperitoneum, which ensures a controlled and safe environment during procedures. The NEBULAE I Insufflation System achieves this by carefully managing the flow of CO₂ into the body, continuously monitoring pressure levels, and effectively removing surgical smoke. This system is particularly beneficial for robotic-assisted surgeries, ensuring stability under all flow conditions.
To further improve surgical environments, NTI developed the NEBULAE SRS, an advanced solution for the safe removal of surgical smoke. Using a closed-loop filtration system, it recirculates, filters, and reintroduces gas into the patient, preventing smoke accumulation while eliminating exposure to contaminants. This not only enhances visibility for surgeons but also minimizes health risks for surgical staff.
The NEBULAE I Insufflation System and NEBULAE SRS adhere to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) guidelines for surgical smoke evacuation, ensuring compliance with industry safety standards.
“Our products are gaining attention because we focus on the details and solve challenges that have been overlooked for years. Seeing the impact on our customers and how well our solutions work is truly rewarding,” says David McDonough, Vice President and General Manager of NTI.
Improving Surgical Precision with StimSite.
Another breakthrough product in NTI’s lineup is StimSite, a device that helps surgeons accurately identify the ureter during laparoscopic procedures. By sending a low electrical signal to stimulate the ureter, StimSite enables surgeons to confirm its location, avoid complications, and reduce surgical time. This technology, recently acquired from Allotrope Medical, allows for improved efficiency and better documentation for medical and legal purposes.
A Direct Approach to Customer Engagement.
Having served as an OEM manufacturer for medical device companies for nearly 30 years, NTI recognized that many hospitals and healthcare providers were unaware of the full benefits of its products. Over the past three years, the company has undergone a strategic transformation, shifting toward direct engagement with hospitals and surgeons.
By selling directly to healthcare providers and offering expert support, NTI has strengthened relationships with its customers. This direct-to-market approach has provided hospitals with personalized service, deeper product insights, and hands-on training, enhancing their overall experience.
A People-Driven Culture of Excellence.
“Our products are turning heads because we’re obsessed with the details and finding innovative solutions to problems people have been working around for years – David McDonough”,Vice President and General Manager.
NTI’s success is largely driven by its highly skilled and dedicated team. The company places a strong emphasis on hiring individuals who embody the qualities of being humble, driven, and team-oriented, ensuring a collaborative and goal-focused work environment.
“Our culture is built on humility and teamwork. Our employees prioritize collective success over individual gain and go the extra mile to support one another in reaching our goals,” McDonough explains. With a steadfast commitment to delivering safe, effective, and innovative solutions, Northgate Technologies Inc. is rapidly establishing itself as a leading provider of minimally invasive surgical products. As the company continues to expand its reach and enhance its offerings, it remains dedicated to advancing patient care and surgical efficiency worldwide.
