Doctors Fernando<\/strong> Montes<\/strong> Tapia<\/strong> and Manuel<\/strong> Wong<\/strong> Jaen<\/strong>, pediatric and thoracic surgeon of the University Hospital Dr. Jos\u00e9 Eleuterio Gonzalez, in Monterrey, have been the promoters of this pioneering activity in the country.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

The program of the event will consist of an in vivo<\/em> demonstration<\/strong> carried out by Dr. Fernando Montes<\/strong> and by Dr. Manuel L\u00f3pez<\/strong>, and a simulation of the technique in an inanimate model<\/strong>, perfirmed by Engineer Llu\u00eds Cassou, from Ventura Medical Technologies<\/strong>. The training sessions will be held in the Plastic Surgery Auditorium in the External Consultation Building of the hospital, and the assistants will be accredited by the Subdirectorate of Continuing Education and the Department of General Surgery of the Faculty of Medicine of the UANL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ventura Medical Technologies<\/a><\/strong> is a company located in the state Barcelona (Spain), dedicated to the innovation and development of projects of medical devices and surgical instruments, responsible for the development of the Pectus Up Surgery Kit<\/a><\/strong>, the implant used in a new less invasive surgical technique for patients suffering from Pectus Excavatum<\/strong>. The Pectus Up is a set of implants and tools manufactured with the aim of treating this pathology with an extrathoracic approach, which allows a very quick and almost painless recovery.<\/p>\n

The Pectus Up<\/strong> is already registered with COFEPRIS<\/a><\/strong>, which endorses the quality and safety guarantees that this institution demands, so the product can now be used for the treatment of the Pectus<\/strong> Excavatum<\/strong> in Mexico.<\/p>\n

The product is currently being marketed in Europe and also in Colombia, and now Dr. Montes will introduce it in Mexico through the Dr. Eleuterio Gonz\u00e1lez University Hospital and the Autonomous University of Nuevo Le\u00f3n<\/a><\/strong>, by performing the first surgery with the Pectus<\/strong> Up<\/strong> Surgery<\/strong> Kit<\/strong> in the country.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
