LaproFlex used during laparoscopic surgery of endometriosis

Improved body posture when removing endometriosis around the uterosacral ligaments

Problem

Endometrial implants can be located all around the abdomen

To enable a good approach and clear view on all the endometriosis implants in the abdomen, the surgeon has to forcefully manipulate tissue, dislocate/switch instruments and even switch sides at the operating table. This is tiring, time consuming and hindering the flow and accuracy during surgery.

“Endometrial implants located around the uterosacral ligaments are the most challenging to remove.”
