Virtual Ports products

The Applier Hand Instrument is used to introduce all Virtual Ports products into the body. Convenient and reusable, it has been designed for up to 2,000 uses.

The EndoLift™ port-free retractor is specifically designed for retraction of larger soft-tissue structures such as the liver and uterus from within the body cavity through an existing port. Virtual Ports proprietary MicroAnchoring™ technology provides the foundation for using the EndoLift™ to enhance visualization of the target tissue by retracting it in two directions, anterior and superior. The EndoLift™ retractor and organ are anchored directly to the endocavity wall, outside the surgeon’s critical view, resulting in exceptional tissue access and an uncluttered laparoscopic workspace. The EndoLift™ deploys quickly and safely through an existing 5mm port by means of a reusable Applier Hand Instrument and assumes its functional shape once inside the body.

The EndoGrab™ port-free endocavity retractor showcases Virtual Ports’ proprietary MicroAnchoring™ technology. It is the only device specifically designed and engineered to use an existing 5mm port to retract organs entirely from within the body cavity. The EndoGrab retractor and organ are anchored directly to the endocavity wall, outside the surgeon’s critical view, resulting in enhanced tissue access and an uncluttered laparoscopic workspace. The EndoGrab enables surgeons to reduce the number of ports, incisions, and personnel needed during laparoscopic surgery. The Virtual Ports Applier Hand Instrument, which is used to deploy and position the EndoGrab, is removed once the organ is retracted, leaving the port open for other uses. Operating room personnel accustomed to holding conventional retraction devices are now available to perform other vital surgical tasks.

Virtual Ports solutions optimize tissue access and visualization by allowing surgeons to a traumatically retract the organ obstructing the surgical field of view by lifting it and anchoring it to the intra-abdominal wall. In contrast to conventional laparoscopic surgery, which requires the use of dedicated ports, incisions, and auxiliary personnel solely for organ retraction, the Virtual Ports approach results in complete organ retraction without a dedicated port or assistant.
