Carter-Thomason is the only closure system with a unique patented Pilot Guide that is engineered to assure full-fascial closure on any body type, even on challenging obese and bariatric patients. Our angled Pilot Guide ensures precise place of the suture passer for consistent and reproducible results from closure to closure – providing speed and confidence at the completion of laparoscopic procedures.

The disposable, easy-to-use Pilot® Guide is long enough to correctly angle the suture passer and assure full-thickness closure though all adipose layers, fascia and peritoneum.

These unique guides are packed sterile ready to use and come in 2 standard sizes to ease closure of both 5mm and 10/12mm port site wounds.

Ideal for morbidly obese and bariatric patients, the XL 15 mm standard size Pilot Guide will provide physicians opportunities for port site closure with both gynecologic and general surgery procedures that require the use of a morcellators and large specimen retrieval bags.
