HydroLap Featured in Surgery Business

Advancing Surgical Innovation for Ambulatory Surgery Centers

HydroLap is proud to be featured in Surgery Business, a leading publication covering surgical technology, healthcare strategy, and the evolving Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) landscape.

The article, authored by Dr. Dinesh Vyas, highlights a growing shift in healthcare: as hospitals face capacity constraints and rising costs, ASCs are becoming a critical driver of surgical access — and they require technology built specifically for their environments.

Why ASC-Focused Surgical Innovation Matters

Ambulatory Surgery Centers are expanding rapidly, offering high-quality outpatient procedures at lower cost and closer to where patients live. However, many ASCs still rely on laparoscopic tools and workflows originally designed for hospital operating rooms, creating inefficiencies that limit growth.

The Surgery Business feature explores why innovation must evolve to meet ASC realities, including:

  • Smaller operating rooms and limited infrastructure

  • Lean staffing models and faster turnover requirements

  • Pressure to increase case throughput without increasing costs

How HydroLap Supports ASC Efficiency and Access

The article highlights HydroLap, a laparoscopic water-jet dissector designed to improve visualization and efficiency during surgerIES — including complex, gall bladder and gangrenous cholecystectomy cases.

Unlike capital-intensive hospital technologies, HydroLap was developed with ASC-first principles:

  • Minimal footprint and familiar workflows

  • No large capital equipment requirements

  • Improved procedural efficiency and visualization

  • Potential to safely expand the range of outpatient procedures

By addressing workflow bottlenecks rather than adding complexity, HydroLap aligns surgical innovation with what ASCs need most: efficiency, affordability, and scalability.

Expanding the Future of Outpatient Surgery

As highlighted in Surgery Business, practical surgical innovations designed for ASC environments can:

  • Increase daily case volume

  • Reduce operating room turnover time

  • Enable ASCs to handle more complex procedures

  • Improve access to surgical care while controlling costs

This approach supports sustainable growth for ASCs and better outcomes for patients, providers, and payers alike.
