## Indications for Use

The Versaport™ Bladeless Low Profile trocar is intended for use in a variety of gynecologic, general, thoracic and urologic endoscopic procedures to create and maintain a port of entry.

## Device Story

Versaport™ Bladeless Low Profile Trocar is a surgical access device used in endoscopic procedures. It creates and maintains a port of entry for surgical instruments. The device features a low-profile housing, a radiolucent fixation sleeve, and a seal system that accommodates 2mm-3mm to 5mm instrumentation while preventing pneumoperitoneum loss during instrument exchange. It includes a luer lock with a cap for insufflation and desufflation. The 2mm-3mm version utilizes an obturator tip with two linear non-bladed fins and a rounded tip. Used by surgeons in clinical settings, the device facilitates minimally invasive access, potentially reducing patient trauma compared to traditional bladed trocars.

## Clinical Evidence

In-vitro and in-vivo performance testing was conducted to verify substantial equivalence and validate device functionality. No clinical trial data was required or presented.

## Technological Characteristics

Low-profile housing; radiolucent fixation sleeve; internal seal system for 2mm-3mm to 5mm instrumentation; luer lock with cap for insufflation/desufflation. Materials comply with ISO 10993-1. Non-bladed obturator tip with 2 linear fins (2mm-3mm size).
