Miniature Access Percutaneous Pyloric Spreader

It is slim, it has a double action mechanism, its angled jaws are serrated on the outside and inside and it can be used without a trocar. The use of the miniature access percutaneous pyloric spreader considerably improved the pyloromyotomy procedure. Operative time could be reduced and there were no complications. Its slim size allowed the spreader to easily fit into the myotomy incision. Serrations outside the spreader permitted enough friction to prevent the instrument from sliding. The double action mechanism allowed equal distribution of force on both sides of the myotomy. Introduction without a trocar decreased abdominal trauma and improved cosmetic results. The miniature access pyloric spreader proves to be a useful instrument for miniature access pyloromyotomy, which improves surgical precision, avoids unnecessary movements and minimizes potential complications.
