Product Description and Intended Use
MiniLap Graspers are manual instruments designed for direct
introduction to the surgical site without the need for a traditional insertion
conduit.
Fabricated from a stainless steel alloy, MiniLap Graspers consist of
an integrated needle/cannula shaft that houses a retractable working
instrument. The shaft can be introduced percutaneously to the surgical
site, after which the working instrument can be deployed for grasping
and manipulating tissue. The working instrument is controlled through a
thumb handle and a locking mechanism on the proximal end of the device.
MiniLap Graspers can be used in a variety of surgical applications,
including laparoscopic surgery after insufflation, and are available in the tip
configurations shown below:
Bowel Grasper Alligator Grasper Clutch Grasper Babcock Grasper
