InnoLap Surgical has developed a device designed to leverage surgeons existing expertise to improve and simplify laparoscopic surgery. Its platform offers the benefits of single-incision methods without the drawbacks. The InnoLap Surgical device utilizes a standard port and three-millimeter needles inserted percutaneously. These extremely small punctures do not require stitches and do not leave scars. InnoLap was a Trendlines Medical portfolio company until its acquisition in 2013 by Teleflex.
