Genicon's Geni-Strong laparoscopic specimen retrieval bags are made from tearresistant nylon, not polyurethane, which
means they're protected against bursting
and won't propagate tears if they're nicked
by instruments, says the company. The
watertight bags are available in 3 sizes. The
medium and medium/large sizes can fit
through a 10mm port, while the large fits
through a 12mm port.
GelPoint Mini
from Applied Medical.
Applied Medical has adapted its
GelPoint Advanced Access
Platform, a multiple-access, singleincision port device, to the demands
of even smaller incisions. The
GelPoint Mini accommodates 1.5cm
to 3cm incision sizes (down from 1.5cm to 7cm) and varying abdominal
wall sizes while allowing the triangulation of 5mm to 10mm instruments.

The device system is priced at $400 to $500.
on the insufflation line that warms and humidifies the CO2 going into the
pneumoperitoneum. Now, that pre-conditioning is available from a 5mm
instrument port, the InsuFlow Synergy. In addition to delivering 95°F,
95% relative humidity CO2 for less fog and less post-op pain, like the
InsuFlow, the Synergy's multi-directional gas dispersion at the distal end
provides pneumo stability. The list price is about $95 to $105. If you're
performing conventional laparoscopy and working with multiple incisions and ports, this device might benefit the patient without getting in
the surgeon's way.
