Features

SAFE

Protected needle: While other closure  devices require free needle puncture into the abdominal cavity, the Lapro-Shark™ needle is always protected within the Lapro-Shark™ guide,  thus eliminating the risk of injuring the intra-abdominal  viscera.

SIMPLE

Automatic suture capture: Unlike other devices which requireactive suture retrieval in mid-air, the Lapro-shark™ is a remarkablysimple device which automatically captures the suture, making port closure effortless, even for the novice.

PRECISE

Modified shape: While all other closure device guides are round, the Lapro-Shark™ has an elliptical body and notched tip.  The novel shape of the Lapro-Shark™, is designed to better retract the skin and subcutaneous tissue while yielding improved and reproducible fascial capture.

Ergonomic Handle:  The Lapro-Shark™ is the only closure device with a built in handle.  The Lapro-Shark’s™ ergonomic handle allows for easy manipulation and precise control over the depth of the fascial bite, regardless of abdominal wall thickness.
