The Endo Stitch™ single use suturing device is designed for introduction and use through all appropriately sized trocar sleeves or larger sized trocar sleeves with the use of a converter. It has application in endoscopic surgery for the placement of interrupted or running stitches in soft tissues.

SILS™ Stitch Articulating Suturing Device

The SILS™ Stitch instrument offers precise access to the surgical site, with distal shaft articulation, needle jaw tip rotation and additional shaft length. When these features are combined with the instrument’s proprietary toggle-activated needle-passing feature, the SILS™ Stitch instrument provides surgeons with unparalleled control and precision of suturing during conventional laparoscopic surgery, as well as during SILS™ procedures.

Endo Close™ Trocar Site Closure Device

The Endo Close™ device has an application in laparoscopic procedures for approximation of tissue and percutaneous suturing for closing incision sites.

The device has a spring loaded blunt stylet mechanism that retracts as the needle is pushed through the abdominal wall and automatically advances once the peritoneum has been penetrated.  The stylet has a notched end which is used to capture and hold suture. It is recommended that USP suture sizes 2-0 or 0 be used with this device.
