Key Features of the Reusable WAVE Grasper

Compatibility and Versatility
The standard Ø5mm diameter and 33cm shaft length make the WAVE Grasper compatible with nearly all trocar sizes and laparoscopic ports. It is ideal for general surgery, gynecology, bariatric procedures, urology, and more.
Precision-Engineered Mechanism
Each unit features smooth jaw closure and precise movement due to tight manufacturing tolerances. The durable mechanism prevents misalignment and ensures accurate grasping and releasing every time.
