Description
The Medtronic VersaOne optical trocar is available from MedicalEx in the configurations listed below. The bladeless dolphin nose tip and clear cannula let the surgeon watch tissue layers pass during entry, while advanced fixation ribs hold the port where it was placed.
- Optical entry with layer-by-layer visualization
- Bladeless dolphin nose tip separates tissue
- Advanced fixation ribs anchor the cannula
- 11 and 12 mm in short, standard and long lengths

Main Description
The VersaOne optical trocar is a bladeless access device whose clear tip and cannula allow direct visualization of tissue layers during insertion. Its dolphin nose tip separates tissue fibers rather than cutting them, which is intended to leave a smaller fascial defect than a bladed entry. The cannula's advanced fixation ribs are designed to keep the port seated through repeated instrument exchanges. A universal seal maintains pneumoperitoneum while accommodating instrument size changes. This listing carries the 11 and 12 mm configurations in short, standard and long fixation cannula versions and a standard smooth cannula version. The 5 mm configurations are already live in this catalog and are not duplicated here.
Features and Benefits
- Visualized entry – Seeing each layer during insertion is the defining safety feature of optical access.
- Tissue separating tip – The bladeless tip parts fibers instead of incising them, supporting smaller defects.
- Fixation rib grip – Ribbed cannulas resist the pull-out forces of instrument exchanges.
- Seal integrity – The universal seal holds insufflation through instrument swaps.

Why Choose This Product
Optical entry is the technique many surgeons choose for first entry and for patients with prior surgery, where visualization matters most. The fixation rib cannula solves the port migration problem that follows optical entry in long cases.
- See the entry – Layer visualization is the differentiator no bladed trocar can offer.
- Smaller defect claim – Fiber separation rather than cutting is designed for a smaller fascial defect.
- Stays put – Fixation ribs address the exchange pull-out that plagues smooth cannulas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose optical over bladed entry?
Optical entry trades the blade for visualization: the surgeon watches each tissue layer as the tip advances, and the bladeless tip separates fibers instead of cutting them. It is commonly chosen for first entry and reoperative abdomens.
Are the 5 mm versions available?
Yes, the 5 mm VersaOne optical configurations are already live in this catalog as separate listings. This product carries the 11 and 12 mm configurations to avoid duplicating them.
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.
What if a configuration I need is not listed?
The configurations shown are the ones carried in this catalog for this product line. If a case needs a different size or load, contact us before ordering so the right configuration can be confirmed rather than substituted at the table.
