Lapafix® trocars are a medical device which is placed in the body from a few different points without making wide incisions in the abdomen and chest region, one end is inside the abdomen, and the other end is located outside the abdomen, and can reach the patient’s body without incision. The camera and the light source can be sent to the abdominal cavity through these trocars placed at several points, and the surgeon can follow the abdomen from the screen. Other hand tools and other necessary tools are transmitted and the operations are performed.
The Lapafix® bladed trocar is available in ribbed fixation cannula configuration and standard trocar length (100mm) with 5 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm diameters. The Lapafix® bladed trocar has a sharp linear blade and blade shield with a spring-loaded locking mechanism. After penetration into the abdominal or thoracic cavity, the shield advances to cover the linear blade and reduces the possibility of injury in intra-abdominal or intra-thoracic structures. The trocar cannula contains an internal seal to prevent gas leakage when operating instruments are inserted or removed without loss of pneumoperitoneum. There is a stopcock valve for gas insufflation and desufflation. The Lapafix® bladed trocar is sharper than reusable trocars and generally requires less force for insertion. Excessive force may reduce the user’s control of the angle and the depth of insertion, which may increase the risk of injury to internal structures.
The Lapafix® bladeless trocar is available in ribbed fixation cannula configuration and standard trocar length (100mm) with 5 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm diameters. The trocar cannula contains an internal seal to prevent gas leakage when operating instruments are inserted or removed without loss of pneumoperitoneum. There is a stopcock valve for gas insufflation and desufflation.

Teracel® Hemostats are absorbable and sterile medical devices formed by the oxidation of regenerated cellulose and used to control capillary and other bleeding during the surgical operation. In order for the surgeon to successfully control hemostasis during the surgical operation, it is more appropriate to make hemostatic agents from absorbable materials. Absorbable Hemostats with oxidized regenerated cellulose structure are absorbable medical devices used in related operations such as General surgery, Aesthetic surgery, Gynecology, Digestive System Surgery, Orthopedics, Traumatology, Dental Practices and Endoscopic Operations. Teracel® hemostats with different product design includes Original Hemostat, Fabric Hemostat, Fibrillar Hemostat and Nonwoven Hemostat.

Surgical partially Teramesh® Composite Mesh and Teramesh® Nonabsorbable are medical devices that are generally used in abdominal hernia repairs in order to strengthen weak tissues. After the surgical operation, the patient does not feel too much tension in the abdominal wall due to the surgical meshes of this structure. Teramesh® Composite Mesh; Partially absorbable mesh is designed by using half of the monofilament PGCL and non-absorbable monofilament PP polymers as the two-component monofilament content. It can be used in open surgery and laparoscopic operations. Teramesh® Non-absorbable Mesh; non-absorbable mesh polypropylene, teramesh consisting of non-absorbable monofilament fibers, is used for stabilization of the abdominal wall. It has usage areas such as open or laparoscopic techniques, rectal and genital urinary prolapses cases and hernia, including abdominal and incisional hernias and eventration.
