Description
Disposable Trocars are surgical instruments used in minimally invasive surgeries, often in laparoscopy or robot-assisted surgery. They are hollow tubes that provide access to the abdominal cavity or other body cavities during procedures, allowing for the insertion of other instruments, cameras, or devices. Trocars are essential for creating entry points for surgery without the need for large incisions, resulting in less pain, quicker recovery, and smaller scars.
Features of Disposable Trocars:
- Single-Use: These trocars are designed to be used only once, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and infection.
- Safety Mechanisms: Many disposable trocars are equipped with safety features like retractable blades or blunt tips to minimize the risk of injury to internal organs.
- Various Sizes: Disposable trocars come in different diameters and lengths to accommodate different surgical needs and patient anatomies.
- Bladed vs. Blunt Tip: Trocars can have a sharp, bladed tip for easier penetration through tissues or a blunt tip for safer insertion without cutting.
- Material: They are usually made of medical-grade plastic or stainless steel, designed to be durable yet lightweight.
- Cannula: A hollow tube through which surgical instruments or a camera (laparoscope) can be inserted after the trocar is positioned.
- Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with other surgical devices and instruments used during laparoscopic procedures.
- Packaging: Disposable trocars are typically sterilized and individually packaged to maintain their sterility until use.
