Laparoscopic balloon dissector

Definition

A device designed to dissect connective tissue layers creating access to a desired surgical site during a laparoscopic procedure. It typically consists of a cannula, a distention balloon, an obturator, an inflation bulb, and a regulating valve(s). An appropriate endoscope is introduced into the cannula to monitor the dissection and/or the insertion process. Using the inflation bulb, the balloon is inflated to a recommended fill volume exerting pressure on the tissue layers. Once the space is dissected the balloon is deflated and the device replaced by other suitable devices (e.g., trocar/cannula) whilst the peritoneal space is insufflated under low pressure. This is a single-use device.
