Main Description
The BluntPort Plus is a blunt trocar for open, Hasson-style laparoscopic entry, accommodating instruments from 5 to 12 mm. Blunt entry through a small incision under direct vision is chosen for first entry in reoperative abdomens and where a closed sharp entry is best avoided. BluntGrip threaded anchoring screws the cannula into the fascia to hold position and seal against gas leak. The blunt obturator separates rather than cuts tissue at the entry point. It is supplied sterile for single use, three per box as listed.
Features and Benefits
- Open entry control – Direct-vision blunt entry is the safety answer for scarred abdomens.
- Threaded anchoring – BluntGrip threads give positive fixation that smooth blunt ports lack.
- Wide instrument range – One port passes 5 through 12 mm instruments for the case that follows entry.

Why Choose This Product
Every access program needs a blunt first-entry option for hostile abdomens. This is the threaded-anchor version. Positive anchoring solves the blunt port's classic problem of backing out mid-case.
- Hasson ready – The design assumes open entry technique from the start, not adaptation.
- Anchor security – Threaded fixation is the differentiator over friction-fit blunt ports.
- Full range port – After entry it serves as the main 5 to 12 mm working port.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is blunt entry used?
Blunt open entry is used when the surgeon wants the first port placed under direct vision through a small incision, commonly in patients with prior surgery and expected adhesions. The blunt tip then separates tissue rather than cutting blindly.
How does the port stay in place?
The BluntGrip threaded section anchors into the fascia as the cannula is advanced, resisting pull-out and helping seal the entry against gas leakage. The port then stays where the surgeon placed it for the rest of the case.
Is this device sterile and single use?
Yes. It is supplied sterile for single use unless its label states otherwise, and it must not be reprocessed or reused. Check the package integrity and expiry before every case.
How should this device be stored?
Store it in its original packaging under normal room conditions away from heat sources and moisture. Rotate stock by expiry date and quarantine any unit with damaged packaging.
