Laparoscopic access and ligation

ENDOPATH XCEL trocars with OPTIVIEW technology create and hold the entry points for the camera and instruments in laparoscopic abdominal access; a lens-wiping design keeps the scope lens cleaner as it passes through the port. The LIGACLIP multiple clip applier carries several clips in one instrument, so vessels and ducts can be ligated in open and endoscopic procedures without reloading between clips.

Both are Ethicon instruments from Johnson & Johnson MedTech, for which ViSurg is an authorised distributor. The trocars serve General and laparoscopic surgery and Gynaecology and obstetrics; the clip applier is used in general surgery. They are per-case consumables usually bought by product family and placed on rate contracts, which ViSurg handles from its registered office in Vijayapura.

As a supplier of laparoscopic access and ligation consumables to hospitals in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa, ViSurg supplies and services them from the nearest branch, which also arranges demonstration and training for theatre staff. Pricing is confirmed on enquiry.
