Adjustable Curve Suction Irrigation Sleeve
The Platform Innovation Suction Irrigation Sleeve is a smooth covering for the suction and irrigation instrument used in laparoscopic surgery, featuring an adjustable curve. It is designed to increase the surgeon's field of vision, eliminate arcing, and assist with retracting during a wide range of robotic and laparoscopic procedures, including urology (partial nephrectomy and prostatectomies), gynecology (macro colpopexy and hysterectomy), and colorectal (colon resection).
Customized articulation provides access around surgical instruments and patient anatomy.
Minimizes delays in robotic surgery as curved tip can provide access around robotic arms.
Non-conductive material insulates metal suction irrigation shafts from arcing from monopolar devices.
Soft and blunt distal tip reduces risk of perforating tissue from unprotected metal suction irrigation tips.
Improves visibility saving valuable surgical time by providing precise access to pooling fluids (or bleeders).
Fits existing rigid straight-line suction and irrigation shafts for both robotic and laparoscopic surgery.
Versatile suction sleeve that is compatible with both reusable and disposable straight rigid suction.

Benefits
Adjustable curve - Allows surgical team to maneuver around instruments and anatomy to address blood pooling directly
Reduces potential patient burn injury - Protects adjacent anatomy and bowel from arcing while using electrocautery
Provides protection to soft tissue - Provides a less traumatic tip to rigid metal suction/irrigation during port introduction and tissue retraction
This 7.75mm multi-directional curved sleeve allows surgeons to perform both straight and angled suction and irrigation, with versatile compatibility for both reusable and non-reusable straight rigid suction and irrigation shafts.
Cost Containment
Eliminates potential expense for additional ports/trocars to be used, reducing inventory costs
Enhances visualization, reducing the risk and cost of converting to an open procedure
Improves functionality of suction and irrigation, reducing OR time required for surgery
