LESS 2.0: The new TriPort+ – bringing the LESS Surgery system to perfection:
Key Features:
- 3 + 1 valve: Improved retraction
- Gas-tight “duckbill” valves
- Easy-to-remove top for specimen extraction
The new TriPort+ features: A fourth valve for easy retraction The TriPort+ consists of a boot containing one 10-mm and three 5-mm gel valves through which the optics and hand instruments are introduced. The additional 5-mm valve of the new TriPort+ enables insertion of an additional instrument like a retractor. This affords superior exposure because the fundus of the gallbladder is pushed as far up as in a four-port standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The result is better visualisation of the infundibulum and the critical structures in Calot’s triangle, cystic artery and cystic duct.
New valves ensure gas tightness Smoke evacuation: Two Luer connectors for insufflation ensure smoke and vapour evacuation.
Easy specimen removal: The retracting sleeve, equipped with an inner distal and outer proximal ring, acts as a wound retractor. During surgery, the detachable boot enables easy specimen removal and safe introduction of other surgical materials like sutures or mesh prostheses. The port fits abdominal wall thicknesses of up to 10 cm. A removal ribbon on the distal ring facilitates TriPort+ extraction at the end of surgery.
TriPort+ is now even easier than ever to set up For port insertion, prepare the surgical site as usual. Either a Veress needle or a Hasson technique can be used for introducing the port. A device-specific introducer ensures safe and easy port insertion. To establish pneumoperitoneum, an insufflator is attached to the insufflation/venting valve. When the TriPort+ is inserted into the abdomen, its flexible retracting sleeve self-adjusts to varying incision lengths and abdominal wall thicknesses, thereby producing a firm grip and a gas-tight abdominal seal. This way, the TriPort+ ensures that pneumoperitoneum is maintained throughout the entire procedure.
