Problem
During minimally invasive and robotic surgeries, surgeons must manually handle and store sutures within the confined operative field, which can lead to inefficient workflow, increased handling time, and the risk of leaving suture material behind.
Solution
Endospool offers a compact, trocar‑compatible capsule that securely stores sutures and provides controlled, on‑demand dispensing at the surgical site. The device integrates with standard laparoscopic and robotic instruments, allowing quick insertion through an 8 mm or larger port and easy removal without leaving any material in the patient. Included winder pairs enable fast loading of sutures into the capsule, while a dedicated extraction point facilitates safe removal after the procedure. By organizing suture delivery directly at the operative site, Endospool reduces unnecessary handling, streamlines workflow, and enhances safety in minimally invasive operations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are laparoscopic and robotic surgeons, as well as hospitals and surgical centers that perform minimally invasive abdominal procedures.
