ADAPTOR WITH FLEXIBLE TIP COUPLED TO A WIRE NEEDLE FOR A CIRCULAR STAPLER OGIVAL TROCAR

摘要

Flexible tip adapter coupled to a needled wire for a circular stapler ogive trocar invention relates to a surgical instrument that has a flexible tapered end, hollow or solid, continued with surgical thread of varying material and caliber, needled with a straight, curved or semi-curved needle and another rigid end which can be coupled to the rod of the circular surgical stapler. Its use occurs primarily in video laparoscopic surgery, providing a safe transfixion of hollow viscera tissues to be anastomosed. It aims to facilitate the manipulation of the trocar/ogive rod assembly and to minimize the risk of inadvertent injuries to the tissue being anastomosed, consequently reducing the risk of anastomotic fistula.
