IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Innovamed, Inc. today announced the availability of the LaprostopTM, a unique new device that helps surgeons control trocar insertion. With the popularity of laparoscopic procedures, there have been an increasing number of injuries related to trocar insertion. The Laprostop is intended to help the surgeon control the trocar insertion depth by providing a way to stop the trocar at a depth pre-determined by the surgeon. It attaches to the outside of the trocar, and can be locked into place at any point along the cannula. If the surgeon chooses, the Laprostop can be sutured to the patient’s skin, helping to provide further stability.
