Uckermann Trocar 8mm 13cm

Clinical Application

Provides a controlled access port for insertion of laparoscopic instruments and optics during minimally invasive procedures. The 8 mm lumen accommodates common 5–8 mm instrumentation including graspers, dissectors, energy devices, and optics used in general surgery, gynecology and urology. The 13 cm length is sized for standard abdominal wall thicknesses encountered in adult patients and is suitable for primary or accessory trocar placement.

Design & Configuration

The cannula-and-obturator assembly enables controlled percutaneous entry and subsequent instrument exchange without repeated tissue trauma. An 8 mm internal diameter offers a balance between instrument compatibility and a smaller incision footprint, which can reduce fascial trauma and potential gas leakage compared with larger ports. The 13 cm shaft provides sufficient working length to traverse the abdominal wall while maintaining a low profile at skin level for ergonomic instrument handling at the bedside.
