Pleuroscopic/mediastinoscopic access cannulas are reusable surgical instruments designed for minimally invasive procedures. They create a controlled entry point between ribs to allow instruments into the pleural or mediastinal cavity, enabling procedures like biopsies or drainage without open surgery.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical tools, often requiring validation for reuse and sterilization compliance. They may include trocars for insertion but are not intended for pericardial access, and their design must meet safety standards for repeated use in clinical settings.
