Spring-loaded shield or retractable tip that covers the sharp blade after insertion
Available in sizes like 5mm, 10mm, or 12mm
Compatible with standard laparoscopic instruments
Maintains CO₂ insufflation seal
Reusable or disposable variants available
Uses:
Provides safe access to the abdominal cavity during laparoscopy
Minimizes the risk of organ or vessel injury during trocar insertion
Commonly used in general, gynecologic, and urologic laparoscopic surgeries
A Hasson Trocar is a specialized blunt-tipped trocar used in laparoscopic surgery for open (Hasson) technique to access the abdominal cavity safely, especially in patients with previous surgeries or high-risk cases.
Features:
Blunt obturator to reduce risk of organ injury
Threaded or balloon-cuffed cannula for secure fixation
Suture wings or eyelets to anchor the trocar to the abdominal wall
Comes in sizes like 5mm, 10mm, 12mm
Allows connection to CO₂ insufflation tubing
Uses:
Used in the open (Hasson) laparoscopic entry technique
Preferred when blind insertion is risky (e.g., adhesions, previous surgeries)
Creates and maintains safe access and pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopy
A Magnetic Trocar is an advanced type of laparoscopic trocar that uses magnetic technology to enhance surgical access, reduce invasiveness, and provide better instrument control during minimally invasive surgery.
Features:
Incorporates magnetic elements for instrument guidance or retraction
Designed for scarless or reduced-port surgeries
Often used with magnetic surgical tools inside the abdomen
Minimizes the number of incisions needed
May include a valve system to maintain insufflation
Uses:
Facilitates instrument positioning or tissue manipulation using magnetic force
Common in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, bariatric, or pediatric surgeries
Helps reduce incision size, trauma, and recovery time
A Laparoscopic Trocar is a medical device used in minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgeries to create an access port through the abdominal wall, allowing the insertion of instruments like cameras, graspers, or scissors.
Features:
Consists of a sharp or blunt obturator and a hollow cannula
Valve system to prevent gas leakage during insufflation
Available in various sizes (commonly 5mm, 10mm, 12mm)
Made of plastic, metal, or a combination
Reusable or disposable options
Uses:
Provides entry points for laparoscopic instruments
Maintains pneumoperitoneum during surgery
Used in procedures like gallbladder removal, hernia repair, and appendectomy
A Veress Needle is a surgical instrument used to safely create pneumoperitoneum (inflation of the abdominal cavity with gas, usually CO₂) at the start of a laparoscopic procedure.
Features:
Spring-loaded blunt inner stylet inside a sharp outer needle
Automatically retracts to reduce the risk of injury after insertion
Available in various lengths (typically 12–15 cm)
Made from stainless steel, sterile and reusable or disposable
Equipped with a luer lock for gas tubing attachment
Uses:
Introduces CO₂ gas into the abdominal cavity to create working space
Used as the first step in laparoscopic surgery
Ensures safe and controlled access to the peritoneal cavity
A Laparoscopic Knot Pusher with Reducer is a surgical tool used to secure sutures inside the body during laparoscopic surgery, especially when tying extracorporeal (outside the body) knots. The reducer allows compatibility with different trocar sizes.
Features:
Long shaft to reach internal surgical sites
Knot pusher tip to slide and tighten knots safely
Integrated reducer to fit smaller ports (e.g., from 10mm to 5mm)
Made of stainless steel or medical-grade plastic
Available in reusable or disposable versions
Uses:
Pushes and secures knots during laparoscopic suturing
Ensures tight and precise closure of tissues
Reducer helps adapt the tool for various trocar sizes, improving flexibility
An Apple Hunt Trocar Cannula is a type of reusable laparoscopic access device used to create and maintain a passage through the abdominal wall for inserting surgical instruments during minimally invasive surgery.
Features:
Blunt or sharp obturator for safe insertion
Durable stainless steel cannula
Equipped with a stopcock or valve to maintain CO₂ insufflation
Ergonomic design for easy handling
Commonly available in sizes like 5mm, 10mm, and 12mm
Uses:
Provides a stable and reusable access port for laparoscopic instruments
Maintains pneumoperitoneum during procedures
Used in general, gynecologic, and urologic laparoscopic surgeries
A Laparoscopic Virtual Endo Trainer is an advanced simulation system that uses virtual reality (VR) technology to train surgeons in laparoscopic procedures.
Features:
Provides realistic 3D virtual environment for laparoscopic surgery
Equipped with haptic feedback for tactile sensation
Includes various surgical scenarios and tasks
Tracks and assesses performance metrics like precision, speed, and efficiency
Portable or workstation-based setups
Uses:
Helps surgeons and trainees practice and refine laparoscopic skills without risk to patients
Enhances hand-eye coordination and instrument handling
Used in medical training centers and hospitals for skill development and certification
A PC/Laptop Laparoscopic Endo Trainer is a simulation device that connects to a computer or laptop to help surgeons and trainees practice laparoscopic skills in a virtual or physical environment.
Features:
Compatible with PCs or laptops via USB or HDMI
Includes laparoscopic instruments and training modules
Provides realistic simulation of laparoscopic procedures
May offer visual feedback, scoring, and skill assessment
Portable and easy to set up
Uses:
Used for training surgeons in minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques
Improves hand-eye coordination, precision, and dexterity
Allows practice without risk to patients
Useful in medical schools, hospitals, and training centers
A Laparoscope Holder or Laparoscopic Camera Holder is a device used to stabilize and hold the laparoscope or camera during minimally invasive surgeries.
Features:
Adjustable arm or robotic holder for positioning
Holds 5mm or 10mm laparoscopes
Can be manual, mechanical, or robotic-assisted
Provides 360° movement and locking mechanisms
Made of surgical-grade stainless steel or aluminum
Uses:
Keeps the laparoscope steady, reducing hand fatigue
Frees the surgeon’s or assistant’s hands
Enhances surgical precision and image stability
Common in long or complex laparoscopic procedures
