AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing laparoscopic separators block the use of trocars for other surgical tools and do not provide an optimal support surface for organs, leading to suboptimal surgical interventions.

Method used

A device that converts a 5mm diameter surgical instrument into a separator by incorporating a body with grooves and flanges, allowing it to fold and deploy, enabling it to be used through a trocar while providing a better support surface for organs.

Benefits of technology

Enables simultaneous use of the surgical instrument as a separator without blocking trocars and reduces organ tension, enhancing surgical performance.
