Fully disposable, the easy-to-use, cone-shaped Pilot® guides aid in optimal suture placement and are configured with the proper length and angle to assure full-thickness closure through all fat layers, muscle, and peritoneum.
These unique guides are packed sterile ready to use and come in 2 sizes to ease closure of both 5-mm and 10/12-mm port site wounds.
Our new 15mm 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.
