Overview
The LAP-5® family comprises monopolar disposable endoscopic instruments designed for minimally invasive surgical procedures across multiple specialties. Development and manufacture focus on surgeon ergonomics, intraoperative functionality and traceable sterile single-use delivery.

• Broad range of newly designed monopolar instruments for laparoscopy and other minimally invasive procedures.
• Single-hand operation with a patented pinky-finger operated ratchet to maintain ergonomic finger positions during rotation and manipulation.
• Sharp scissors with integrated coagulation capability for efficient cutting and haemostasis.
• Multiple grasper/forceps variants with switchable ratchets to match tissue handling requirements.
• Narrow dissector jaws with a wide opening angle for effective tissue separation.
• Standard 4 mm HF connector provided for electrosurgical coagulation; rotating HF connector included to avoid cable tangling.
• Delivered sterile and intended for single use.
• Model family name reflects five-finger ergonomic control concept.

CONVENIENCE

• Patented pinky-operated ratchet frees index fingers to control instrument rotation, simplifying single-hand use.
• Colour-coding and clear external identification reduce instrument selection time in the operating room.

SAFETY

• Components use high-grade materials comparable to reusable instruments to ensure durability and reliable performance throughout a procedure.
• Additional safety systems in HF connectors reduce risk of electrical disruptions and accidental disconnection.
• Rotating HF connector maintains secure electrosurgical connection while enabling flexible instrument positioning.

ECO-friendly approach

• CLICK assembly without glue or chemical adhesives facilitates safer disposal and reduces environmental contaminants in hospital waste.
• Simplified assembly reduces manufacturing time and resource consumption, lowering CO2 footprint.
