ASC TriPort: The Future of Laparoscopic Surgery is Scarless

The ASC TriPort is a multi-instrument access port for laparoscopic surgery.
Typical laparoscopic procedures require the placement of 3 or more trocars, each creating their own incision.
The ASC TriPort allows up to 3 instruments to be used simultaneously through a single incision thus making single-port laparoscopic surgery a reality.
For many laparoscopic procedures, for example Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, the ASC TriPort is deployed within the umbilicus thus heralding the arrival of true scarless surgery.

Some of the Benefits offered by the ASC TriPort include:

	Easy Insertion
	Single Incision: The ability to pass up to 3 instruments simultaneously through the ASC TriPort reduces the number of incisions needed for laparoscopic surgery. When the TriPort is deployed in the umbilicus the surgery is essentially scarless.
	Safe Introduction: unlike a trocar, the ASC TriPort does not rely on the grip from the fascial layer while making the skin incision. Because the ASC TriPort does not have to be forced through the fascial layer, deployment of the ASC TriPort is easily controllable.
	Incision Range: The ASC TriPort can be deployed in incisions ranging from 12 to 25mm depending on the surgeon’s requirements for a given procedure. The ASC TriPort’s retractor system self-adjusts to provide excellent retraction in abdominal wall thickness up to 10 cm.
	Secure Grip in Incision: Standard trocars rely on the friction from the incision to keep them in place. This friction is compromised as the trocar is manipulated during the course of a procedure, often resulting in gas leakage or even trocars popping out. The retractor system of ASC TriPort firmly grips the incision, ensuring a gas-tight seal.

	Reduced Clutter: Trocars protrude into the precious space of the operative field creating clutter. The distal portion of the ASC TriPort is flush with the internal abdominal wall.
	Improved Vision: When a scope is passed through a trocar, visulization of the operative field is not achieved until the distal end of the scope has fully passed through the cannula. Full visulization is achieved with the ASC TriPort as soon as the scope enters the abdominal cavity.
	Bent Instruments: The long, straight design of the cannula on the standard trocars restricts the shaft design of laparoscopic instruments to being long and straight. the low profile of the ASC TriPort allows bent instruments to be used through the device. This enhances instrument access for the surgeon.
	Specimen Removal: Specimen removal is easily effected by withdrawing the specimen into the distal end of the triport and removing the port
