Snowden-Pencer&#; and V. Mueller&#; laparoscopic surgical instrumentation help surgeons safely and effectively perform procedures to improve patient lives. Laparoscopic surgeries tend to decrease postoperative pain and promote quicker recovery time*. We offer 3-mm trocars for microscopic procedures, resulting in better cosmesis and patient post-surgery comfort**. Our industry-leading portfolio gives you over 300 configurations, from laparoscopes to laparoscopic scissors, to confidently accomplish nearly any surgical task. Snowden-Pencer laparoscopic instruments feature an easy-to-use integrated ratchet mechanism that allows the surgeon to use the same instrument with or without a ratchet.

The telescope is the most expensive and fragile component of laparoscopic instrumentation. It is also an integral part of the instrumentation, providing image and light through two distinct systems. As such, telescopes must be handled with care from the start to the end of the surgery, and also during the cleaning and sterilization process.

All surfaces of a telescope should be inspected regularly for any scratches, dents, or other flaws. The telescope should also be inspected before each use to assess functional integrity. The eyepiece should be examined to evaluate the clarity of the image from the reflected light. In addition, it is also important to check the optical fibers surrounding the lens train at the tip of the telescope by holding the light post toward a bright light. If the image is discolored or hazy or there is the presence of black dots or shadowed areas, it may be due to improper cleaning, a disinfectant residue, a cracked or broken lens, the presence of internal moisture, or external damage.
When using a metal cannula, the telescope should be inserted gently into the lumen, so as not to break or scratch the lens. At any point of time during use or cleaning and disinfection process, the telescope should not be bent during handling, and avoid placing any heavy instruments on top of the telescope. The telescope also should never be placed near the edge of a sterile trolley or surgical field to prevent it from accidental dropping onto the floor. When transferring the telescope from one point to another, it is best done by gripping the ocular lens in the palm and never by the shaft. Immediately after use, wash the surfaces of the telescope with a soft cloth or sponge using a neutral pH enzymatic solution and a thorough rinse with distilled water to remove any residual cleaning solution.
