EndoGrab from Virtual Ports - Less Invasive Surgery.

Conventional MIS technique employs the use of hand-held retractors, each of which requires a dedicated port in the abdomen and additional auxiliary personnel for manipulating them. This results in additional post-operative patient discomfort and scarring as well as increased costs of surgery.
The Virtual Ports solution is an internally anchored, hands-free retracting device, EndoGrab™,which eliminates the need for a hand held retractor during surgery. The EndoGrab™ is introduced at the start of surgery by means of a proprietary Introducer tool, is attached to the organ requiring retraction and then to the internal abdominal wall, thereby exposing the operative field. The Introducer is then removed and the port is free for use by other instruments.
