Disposable Trocar Cannula 5mm

About Disposable Trocar Cannula 5mm

A laparoscopic trocar is a medical instrument used in minimally invasive surgery to create an access port through the abdominal wall. It allows the introduction of a laparoscope (camera) and surgical instruments into the peritoneal cavity while maintaining pneumoperitoneum.

A trocar system consists of:

• Obturator (stylet): A sharp or blunt penetrating component used to enter the abdomen

• Cannula (sleeve): A hollow tube that remains in place to permit passage of instruments

• Valve or seal mechanism: Prevents leakage of carbon dioxide gas during surgery

Trocars are available in various sizes, commonly ranging from 3 mm to 15 mm, depending on the instrument used. They may be disposable or reusable and have different tip designs such as sharp, blunt, or optical to suit different entry techniques.
