Surgical Direct Hand-held Laparoscopic Instruments are intended for grasping, dissecting, retracting, clamping, biopsy, and/or cauterization of tissue. The devices are used in conjunction with a laparoscopic procedures. Instruments should be used only by personnel completely familiar with their operation. Using an instrument improperly for a task which it was not intended may result in a damaged or broken instrument.

The SURGICAL DIRECT Hand-held Laparoscopic Instruments are commonly named hand-held laparoscopic instruments. Specifically, each instrument has a different tip or jaw to define the functional use, such as scissors, forceps, graspers, biopsy, dissectors or needle holders. The devices are designed to be used through a portal, the opening maintained by an introducer or cannula which allows for insertion and removal of the device without damage to surrounding soft tissue. The devices have a linkage mechanism connecting the working tips, or jaws to a handle. This allows the surgeon to cut, dissect, grasp, clamp, cauterize, palpate, or retract at the operating site in conjunction with a laparoscope.
