Laparoscopic trocar sets are used in minimally invasive surgeries to create ports for instruments. Each set typically includes cannulas, obturators, and valves. Designed for safety and precision, they minimize tissue damage and support faster recovery. Made from surgical-grade stainless steel or medical plastic, they are reusable or disposable based on the model.
A laparoscopic trocar set is a key instrument used in minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgeries to provide access to the abdominal cavity. It consists of a sharp obturator and a cannula, through which laparoscopic instruments can be introduced without making large incisions. These sets reduce surgical trauma, improve healing time, and lower the risk of infection. Trocar sets come in various sizes (typically 5mm, 10mm, 12mm) and may include bladed, bladeless, or optical (camera-guided) obturators. The obturator is used to puncture the abdominal wall under controlled pressure, while the cannula stays in place as a port for instruments like laparoscopes, scissors, or graspers. Some versions also include stopcocks for insufflation and valves to prevent gas leakage during procedures. Made from surgical-grade stainless steel and durable polymers, the trocar set is sterilizable and built for precision. Safety features, such as shielded blades or pressure-sensitive release systems, reduce the risk of internal injury. Color-coded components often aid in quick identification during fast-paced surgeries. Widely used in gynecological, gastrointestinal, and urological surgeries, laparoscopic trocars facilitate procedures like appendectomies, cholecystectomies, and diagnostic laparoscopies. Their role in enabling minimally invasive approaches has revolutionized modern surgery, leading to shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times.
