Laparoscopic trocar LAPAFIX®

shielded bladewith insufflation tap

LAPAFIX® trocars are a medical device which is placed in the body from a few different points without making wide incisions in the abdomen and chest region, one end is inside the abdomen, and the other end is located outside the abdomen, and can reach the patient’s body without incision. The camera and the light source can be sent to the abdominal cavity through these trocars placed at several points, and the surgeon can follow the abdomen from the screen. Other hand tools and other necessary tools are transmitted and the operations are performed. LAPAFIX® bladed trocar is available in ribbed fixation cannula configuration and standard trocar length (100mm) with 5 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm diameters. The LAPAFIX® bladed trocar has a sharp linear blade and blade shield with a spring-loaded locking mechanism. After penetration into the abdominal or thoracic cavity, the shield advances to cover the linear blade and reduces the possibility of injury in intra-abdominal or intra-thoracic structures. The trocar cannula contains an internal seal to prevent gas leakage when operating instruments are inserted or removed without loss of pneumoperitoneum. There is a stopcock valve for gas insufflation and desufflation. LAPAFIX® bladed trocar is sharper than reusable trocars and generally requires less force for insertion. Excessive force may reduce the user’s control of the angle and the depth of insertion, which may increase the risk of injury to internal structures. LAPAFIX® bladeless trocar is available in ribbed fixation cannula configuration and standard trocar length (100mm) with 5 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm diameters.
