Trocars are used during laparascopic surgery and can function as a portal for other tools like scissors, graspers and staplers. A trocar is a surgical instrument which can be used to remove fluid from the abdominal cavity. CIA Medical offers several Hasson trocars from major trocar manufacturers including Covidien and Con-Med. Blunt tip trocars like these typically include a blunt obturator along with a valve body/cannula assembly. These blunt trocars are inserted into the peritoneal cavity after making a small celiotomy and are used to introduce a laparoscope for surgery. Blunt tip trocars are used as a port for scope maneuverability. These trocars use a Hasson technique and can offer strong fixation, excellent sealing, and an atraumatic blunt obturator.
Benefits of Hasson Trocars
These trocars support the ability to operate in small places. Some support the ability to expand the surgical area using a balloon.
