AI Article Synopsis
- A new dissector device called DisePad has been developed for laparoscopy to improve the dissection and cleaning of anatomical structures.
- The device, patented in Mexico, features a tip made of a cotton-polyester cloth that is soaked in a special gel and hot saline to maintain tissue temperature during procedures.
- In 364 laparoscopic surgeries, DisePad has proven effective for visualizing and separating tissues without causing damage or complications like thermal injury or bleeding.
Article Abstract
Objective: To describe a novel dissector device useful in laparoscopy, better definition of anatomic structures to have a better dissection, separation, and cleaning of the structures.
Method: The endoscopic dissector DisePad was designed and developed at the experimental surgery department of Centro Médico Nacional 20 de Noviembre, and properly patented at Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial (title 3512).
Results: The tip of the device is the most important component, by its direct contact with the different tissues, consists of a cotton-polyester black cloth impregnated with a special gel immersed into a hot saline solution. Once soaked the tip maintains the solution temperature on itself.
Conclusions: This device has been used in 364 laparoscopic procedures demonstrating, its utility to visualize, separate and clean anatomical structures without thermal lesion, tear, hemorrhage or visceral perforation.
