Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Produces Disposable Laparoscopic Trocar
“Disposable laparoscopic trocar is one of the strategic medical equipment whose production inside the country was demanded by the health ministry,” said Mehdi Danesh, the head of the board of directors of the knowledge-based company.
He pointed to the 12-year history of establishment of his company in Isfahan’s Science and Research Town, and said, “After conducting appropriate research, we started the process of designing and production of the trocar.”
“At present, we are manufacturing the product at a lower price than similar foreign samples,” Danesh underlined.
A trocar (or trochar) is a medical or veterinary device that is made up of an awl (which may be a metal or plastic with a pointed or tapered tip), a cannula (essentially a hollow tube), and a seal.
Trocars are placed through the abdomen during laparoscopic surgery. The trocar functions as a portal for the subsequent placement of other instruments, such as graspers, scissors, staplers, etc. Trocars also allow the escape of gas or fluid from organs within the body.
