Our device is a laparoscopic single-handed suturing instrument designed to facilitate closure in surgeries of ventral hernias with diastasis. This unique product is the first of its kind that is completely mechanically operated and designed for the large curved needles typical in many laparoscopic abdominal wall reconstruction procedures. The instrument fits into a 15 mm diameter port and may be scaled to smaller needles and ports.
