Overview

AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

The Laparoscopic Trocar is a surgical instrument classified as a laparoscopic trocar (product code GCJ), designed for creating access ports in the abdominal wall during minimally invasive procedures. It facilitates the insertion of laparoscopic instruments and cameras by providing a controlled pathway, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues. Available in various sizes, it is commonly used in general surgery, gynecology, and urology to support endoscopic interventions. The device includes an obturator for initial insertion, which is then removed once the trocar is properly seated.

This device is supplied as a reusable surgical instrument, intended for use in sterile operating room environments. It is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K953409) and falls under the advisory jurisdiction of the Gastroenterology and Urology committees. Sizes such as 5mm, 10/11mm, and 10/12mm are documented, though specific sterility or MRI safety details are not provided in the regulatory data. Storage and handling must comply with standard surgical instrument protocols to maintain sterility and functionality.
