Universal trocar

THE FIRST VIVA QUESTION

What is its use?

Provides penetrating access for selected cavity procedures using the appropriate device and trained supervision.

Explore the photo before the answer. Zoom into the jaws, inspect the locking mechanism and compare the available reference views.

01 / IDENTIFICATION

How to recognise it.

  1. Solid handle with a penetrating working tip.
  2. Interchangeable tip configurations are available.
  3. This reference shows a trocar set; it is not a complete laparoscopic port.
Don’t confuse it with…

A cannula is a hollow access sleeve. Do not assume that every pictured trocar set includes a cannula.

02 / PARTS

Name the parts.

Point to each part on your specimen as you say its name.

  1. Handle
  2. Shaft
  3. Penetrating tip
  4. Tip attachment
  5. Protective guard
03 / VIVA PRACTICE

Think first. Then reveal.

Say your answer aloud before opening the suggested response.

01Which part provides the penetrating point?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

The distal trocar tip.

02Is a trocar the same as a cannula?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

No. The trocar is the penetrating component; a cannula is a hollow sleeve.
