Intended use:
The Laprostop® is intended to help control trocar insertion depth and provide greater stability during procedures.
The Laprostop system consists of four parts: the flange, collet, nut and wrench. The Laprostop is available in two sizes. The 5mm Laprostop has a blue collet (1) and the 10mm Laprostop has a yellow collet (1). The illustration shows the 10mm (yellow) collet. The flange has three suture holes that can be used to suture the Laprostop to the patient’s skin.

Steps:
- If you are using a 5mm Trocar (5), use the Laprostop with the blue collet, part number LS5. If you are using a 10mm Trocar (5), use the Laprostop with the yellow collet, part number LS10.
- Slide the assembled Laprostop over the cannula (2) of the trocar (5). The position of the Laprostop on the cannula (2) should be determined by the surgeon. The flange (3) end of the Laprostop should be closest to the cutting blade of the trocar (4). The Nut (6) should be toward the handle of the trocar.
- Holding the flange (3) with one hand, tighten the nut (6) of the Laprostop by hand. After resistance is met, continue to tighten the nut with the wrench (7) until firm resistance is met.
- Check the security of the Laprostop by applying force to the flange (3) in the direction of the arrows. The Laprostop should not move along the cannula (2).
- If the Laprostop moves along the cannula, repeat steps 3 and 4 until movement of the cannula is no longer detected.
- Warning: If there is any movement of the Laprostop when force is applied after repeating steps 3 and 4, do not use the Laprostop on that trocar.
- For greater trocar stability during the surgical procedure, the flange can be sutured to the patient’s skin, using the three pre-drilled holes.
The Laprostop is a single use device. When the surgical procedure is completed, dispose of all the components of the Laprostop as medical waste. Do not re-sterilize.
