One handle can be used in combination with a variety of different 5 mm inserts. The handles have monopolar posts which allow them to be used for electrosurgery.

The ergonomic laparoscopic handles have an adjustable grip. They may be used in one of the three handle positions: pistol grip, hybrid, and inline. To change the handle position, retract the position adjustment button and lock the grip in the chosen position. The handle comes in two sizes.
