Clinical Value
Published Evidence
How much pneumoperitoneum gas leaks into your OR? SAGES recommends following best practices for laparoscopy to minimize trocar gas leakage, and ALSGBI recommends the use of techniques to minimize possible aerosolization from port sites. Choosing the right trocar can help minimize pneumoperitoneum gas leaks. In benchtop testing, ENDOPATH XCEL™ 5mm Trocars had the lowest and most consistent leak rates of leading 5mm trocars.1,2
Head-to-Head Testing
ENDOPATH XCEL™ Trocars with OPTIVIEW™ Technology cut endoscope rewipes in half, which reduces the disruption of rewiping the endoscope and minimizes the cumulative time spent cleaning the endoscope.3
In bench top testing, ENDOPATH XCEL™ with OPTIVIEW™ had the most effective smudge reduction compared to other leading 5mm and 12mm trocars.3
Understanding the Challenges with Trocars and Access
Visibility
The endoscope camera lens can become covered with fluid. The fluid can hinder visibility which necessitates frequent endoscope cleaning.
