Description
The Medtronic Endo Close trocar site closure device is available from MedicalEx in the configurations listed below. The device passes suture through the fascia on both sides of the port site for percutaneous closure, the step that prevents port site hernias after laparoscopy.
- Closes fascial defects at trocar sites
- Percutaneous suture placement under vision
- For laparoscopic port site approximation
- Single use sterile device

Main Description
The Endo Close device is designed for trocar site closure in laparoscopic procedures, approximating fascia and percutaneously placing suture at the port site. Port sites of larger trocars leave fascial defects that can herniate. Closing them under vision is the preventive standard. The device guides suture through tissue on each side of the defect so the fascial edges can be drawn together and tied down. It works at the end of the case through the existing incision, without extending it. The device is sterile and single use, sold per its labeled configuration.
Features and Benefits
- Guided fascial bites – The device geometry takes consistent bites on both sides of the defect.
- Hernia prevention – Reliable fascial closure is the direct countermeasure to port site herniation.
- No incision extension – Closure happens through the existing port site, preserving the minimally invasive benefit.

Why Choose This Product
Port site hernia is a known laparoscopic complication with a mechanical solution. This device is that solution in the Medtronic access line. Closure under vision beats blind fascial grabbing at the end of a long case.
- Consistent bites – Guided placement is the differentiator over needle-and-guess closure techniques.
- Defect sized – The device targets the fascial layer that actually matters for hernia prevention.
- Case flow fit – It works through the existing site in the closing minutes of the case.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which port sites need fascial closure?
Larger port sites, commonly 10 mm and above and certain 5 mm sites in children or extended manipulation, are closed at the fascia to prevent herniation. This device is made for that closure step.
Does it need a special suture?
It places standard suture material per the surgeon's choice and the device's instructions for use. The device itself is the guide and passer.
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.
