Suture management remains a practical workflow challenge in laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Long sutures can be difficult to organize inside the operative field, may require unnecessary handling, and can interrupt procedural flow. Endospool was designed to help organize, store, and deliver suture in a more controlled way during minimally invasive procedures.
The Endospool Solution
Suture management remains a practical workflow challenge in laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Long sutures can be difficult to organize inside the operative field, may require unnecessary handling, and can interrupt procedural flow. Endospool was designed to help organize, store, and deliver suture in a more controlled way during minimally invasive procedures.
Product Features
Controlled Suture Management
Supports controlled suture storage, delivery, retrieval, and removal at the operative site — keeping the surgical field organized throughout the procedure.
Minimally Invasive Compatibility
Designed for laparoscopic and robotic workflows. Trocar-compatible and works with standard MIS instruments — no special equipment required.
Nothing Left Behind
Supports a one-suture-in / one-suture-out approach. Easy to place, use, retrieve, and remove. Designed so nothing is left behind in the operative field.
Endospool Basic Device Setup
Winder for Spooling Sutures
Included winder pairs with the Endospool capsule to enable fast, easy loading of the device
Retrieval String
