Bladeless Trocars

The advantages of the bladeless trocar include:

• Unique “dolphin nose” tip to facilitate smoother insertion for easier trocar placement([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal test report #2143-114, Applies to 12 mm trocars, when compared to Applied Kii™* (12 mm, Z-thread cannula). March 2013.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
• Advanced fixation ribs keep cannula from moving during procedures¹
• Ergonomic design to provide control and comfort during laparoscopic procedures([FOOTNOTE=Based on internal VOC report, Project Eichler and Lieberman research. May 2013.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

VersaStep™ bladeless trocars combine the advantages of Step™ radial dilation technology with the Versaseal™ Plus universal seal. Step™ radially expanding technology allows the VersaStep™ bladeless trocars to yield smaller fascial defects for an equivalent cannula size compared to conventional bladed trocars.([FOOTNOTE=Bhoyrul S, Mori T, Way LW.

Step™ bladeless trocars incorporate Step™ radial dilation technology with a truly bladeless obturator. Step™ radially expanding technology allows the Step™ bladeless trocars to yield a smaller wound for an equivalent cannula size compared to conventional bladed trocars.^3,†

Mini Step™ bladeless trocars incorporate Step™ radial dilation technology with a truly bladeless obturator. Step™ radially expanding technology allows the Mini Step™ bladeless trocars to yield a smaller wound for an equivalent cannula size compared to conventional bladed trocars.^3,† The low profile design makes this line of bladeless trocars ideal for small patients.
