Reusable FUNDUS Grasper – Ø5mm x 33cm by Lapex Surgical
Introduction to the Reusable FUNDUS Grasper
The Reusable FUNDUS Grasper from Lapex Surgical is a high-performance laparoscopic instrument designed for secure tissue grasping during minimally invasive surgeries. This tool is essential for fundus manipulation, particularly in bariatric and gastrointestinal procedures. With a 5mm shaft diameter and a 33cm working length, it ensures maximum control, ergonomic handling, and clinical reliability.
What Makes the FUNDUS Grasper Unique?
Unlike general graspers, the Reusable FUNDUS Grasper is specially engineered for delicate yet firm manipulation of the fundus — the upper part of the stomach. It is commonly used in surgeries such as sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and other procedures that require precise fundus handling without causing trauma to the tissue.
Designed for Safe, Reliable Grip
The grasper features atraumatic jaws that offer a firm hold on soft and fatty tissue like the stomach fundus. Its design helps surgeons avoid tearing or crushing tissue while ensuring a strong grip throughout the procedure.
Built for Reuse
This instrument is made of premium, surgical-grade stainless steel. It is fully autoclavable and resists corrosion, deformation, and wear — making it a sustainable, cost-efficient solution for hospitals and surgical centers.
Key Benefits of the Reusable FUNDUS Grasper
Superior Fundus Handling
The FUNDUS Grasper’s wide jaw design and gentle serrations provide excellent grip on delicate gastric tissue, making it ideal for sleeve gastrectomy and other laparoscopic procedures involving stomach manipulation.
Surgeon-Focused Design
Its ergonomic handle and lightweight structure reduce hand fatigue and enhance control, especially in longer procedures. The tactile feedback allows the surgeon to feel tissue resistance, enhancing precision during dissection or retraction.
Reusability & Cost Efficiency
With the ability to withstand hundreds of sterilization cycles, this grasper offers outstanding long-term value. It helps facilities reduce their reliance on disposable tools while maintaining top performance.
Clinical Applications of Reusable FUNDUS Grasper
Bariatric Surgery
Sleeve Gastrectomy: Grasp and elevate the fundus safely for dissection.
Gastric Bypass: Manipulate the fundus and nearby tissues with confidence.
Gastric Banding: Provide retraction or exposure of the upper stomach.
General Laparoscopic Surgery
Cholecystectomy: Occasionally used for retracting the fundus of the stomach.
