LaproFlex monopolar hook used during laparoscopic adhesiolysis
Gentle removal of abdominal adhesions
Problem
Suboptimal approach of abdominal wall
During laparoscopic adhesiolysis, most often a conventional monopolar hook or scissors are inserted through trocars. The surgeon places the trocars under direct visualization to create an optimal workspace. If severe abdominal wall adhesions are present, it may be difficult to achieve an optimal trocar placement, resulting in a suboptimal working angle, especially for a rigid laparoscopic instrument.
“The LaproFlex Monopolar Hook makes it easier to perform a complex adhesiolysis.”

Solution
The steerability of the LaproFlex instrument enables gentle surgery from one single entry point
The LaproFlex monopolar hook can be inserted through an arbitrary trocar and still the end-effector can be directed to the proper location anywhere in the abdomen with only a gentle steering force.
“The rotational freedom of this instrument results in a significant advantage, especially in abdominal wall adhesion.”
– C. Lange, M.D.
