Laparoscopic Axial Needle Holders

With a revolutionary ergonomic handle design, Aesculap needle holders were created to provide superior balance and surgeon comfort. The powerful Tungsten Carbide jaws maintain a firm grip on even the finest needles and the thinnest suture. Needle holders are available in multiple jaw designs as well as 31 cm, 37 cm and 42 cm instrument lengths.

Bulldog Clips

Particularly for laparoscopic Bulldog Clips, easy and rapid clip removal is of the utmost importance. In partial nephrectomy, for instance, the blood supply to the entire kidney is interrupted during the resection procedure. In order to avoid damage to the kidney, the period of ischaemia should be kept as short as possible. For this reason, easy handling of the Bulldog Clips is extremely important.

Cinch Organ Retractor

Novel minimally invasive technologies now provide the laparoscopic surgeon the opportunity to reproduce the technique of traditional laparoscopic surgery through a single incision. The internal organ retractor is a novel self-retaining intracorporal retractor which was developed to overcome some of these challenges – to support the surgeon.
