Trocars are the first point of contact into a patient and need to do many jobs - maximize visibility and maneuverability, enable surgical flow, and minimize exposure to pneumoperitoneum gas. ENDOPATH XCEL™ Trocars with OPTIVIEW™ Technology are designed to reduce smudging of the endoscope upon reinsertion by wiping, wicking and absorbing fluid that builds up inside the trocar. About this Device ENDOPATH XCEL™ Trocars with OPTIVIEW™ Technology are surgical instruments used in minimally invasive surgery that function as a portal for subsequent insertion of other endoscopic instruments. The proprietary OPTIVIEW Technology wipes, wicks, and absorbs bodily fluid and debris from the endoscope shaft as it is removed from the trocar. The portfolio of trocars with OPTIVIEW Technology are available in bladeless, dilating tip, blunt tip, and universal sleeves and come in 5mm and 12mm sizes. Features & Benefits Reduce Smudging and Rewiping ENDOPATH XCEL™ Trocars with OPTIVIEW™ Technology are the only trocars that reduce rewipes of the scope upon reinsertion after cleaning.1 They have the most effective smudge mitigation vs. leading trocars.1 Reliable Surgeon Control Provides a controlled and predictable entry. ENDOPATH XCEL™ Trocars had higher abdominal wall retention force 2,3 and lower insertion force4,5 than Applied or Medtronic trocars. Lower Leak Rates ENDOPATH XCEL™ 5mm Trocars had the lowest and most consistent leak rates of leading 5mm trocars.
