Problem
Surgeons performing minimally invasive procedures must frequently adjust the orientation of the laparoscope, which often requires releasing the instrument, swapping tools, or using both hands, leading to workflow interruptions and longer operation times.
Solution
Pando Surgical offers a one‑handed laparoscope rotation device that attaches to standard laparoscopic setups and allows surgeons to rotate the scope while maintaining their grip. The mechanism provides precise, hands‑free control of the camera angle, eliminating the need for additional instrument exchanges. By streamlining scope adjustments, the device reduces procedural delays and supports a smoother, more efficient operating room workflow.
Target Audience
Primary users are laparoscopic surgeons and surgical teams seeking to improve efficiency and ergonomics in minimally invasive operations.
