Reaching of anatomical planes
Problem
Swollen gallbladder
A swollen gallbladder is difficult to grab and cumbersome to mobilize to a position so that a monopolar hook is able to cut the along the recess with the liver.
Multiple re-allocations of instruments are required and in some cases an additional entry point has to be made. Or the hook is forced into the liver and gallbladder. This often requires large forces that may damage the liver and causes physical stress in the hands of the surgeon, hindering the accuracy of the dissecting.
“The LaproFlex monopolar hook can reach all sides of the gallbladder to dissect gently from the liver.”
– D. Lips, M.D.

Solution
The LaproFlex hook can be steered exactly into the recess
The LaproFlex monopolar hook can be bend around the liver, over the gallbladder and in between the graspers so that it exactly follows the contour of the gallbladder.
“The LaproFlex monopolar hook can reach under the gallbladder for easy dissection from the liver.”
