The advantages of the bladeless trocar include:
VersaStep™ bladeless trocars combine the advantages of Step™ radial dilation technology with the Versaseal™ Plus universal seal. Step™ radially expanding technology allows the VersaStep™ bladeless trocars to yield smaller fascial defects for an equivalent cannula size compared to conventional bladed trocars.([FOOTNOTE=Bhoyrul S, Mori T, Way LW.

Step™ bladeless trocars incorporate Step™ radial dilation technology with a truly bladeless obturator. Step™ radially expanding technology allows the Step™ bladeless trocars to yield a smaller wound for an equivalent cannula size compared to conventional bladed trocars.3,†
Mini Step™ bladeless trocars incorporate Step™ radial dilation technology with a truly bladeless obturator. Step™ radially expanding technology allows the Mini Step™ bladeless trocars to yield a smaller wound for an equivalent cannula size compared to conventional bladed trocars.3,† The low profile design makes this line of bladeless trocars ideal for small patients.
Versaport™ Plus bladeless trocars provide bladeless access for enhanced insertion, control, and secure fixation.
