The benefits of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to patients and to the healthcare system are widely documented. ENDOPATH® DEXTRUS™ bridges the gap between open surgeries and MIS, maximizing surgeon flexibility, freedom and performance. The system, which includes an access port and finger tools, offers three exclusive design features. One, it provides an innovative alternative to open surgery for large organ removal. Two, it allows the surgeon to leverage his/her sense of touch in laparoscopic-based procedures Finally, it brings the familiarity of traditional surgical instruments to the surgeons’ fingertips with Dextrus finger-mounted tools.
