About Mediclose

Mediclose is a sterile disposable device intended to pass a suture through the fascia of a 10-12 mm trocar induced wound, at the end of laparoscopic surgery. Mediclose is a closure system that consists of the Mediclose device, incorporating the sutures and needles, and the Mediclose adaptor, to ensure compatibility with most brands of trocars. Most existing systems close the trocar induced incisions from outside inward. Whereas, the Mediclose System closes the incisions inside outward, with the position of the needles pointing away from any vital organs.

Then, the green firing side button can be pressed with your thumb to activate the needles. Subsequently, the button on top
of the device should be pressed again, which will release
the spreading mechanism into the non-folding position.
Finally, the trocar can be removed in one movement together with the Mediclose device from the wound. Now, the sutures can be cut from the needles and tied together to complete the closure.
