  • Page 49: Using The Surgical Surveyor

    Classically, surgical retractors have been limited to fi xation and displacing tissues to provide adequate exposure of the surgical site. The Aperture™ Surgical Surveyor's built-in video is practical for providing a simultaneous view of the operation to the surgeon and the assistant.

  • Page 50: Intended Use

    3. Using the Surgical Surveyor Intended Use The Aperture™ Surgical Surveyor is a curved rigid videoscope that has two functions: a retraction function and a dissection function. Retraction Function The Aperture™ Surgical Surveyor provides a retraction function that allows the user to lift tissues with the usual precautions related to force and tissue strength.

  • Page 51: Indications For Use

    3. Using the Surgical Surveyor Indications for Use There are two indications for use: The Aperture™ Surgical Surveyor is indicated for use when it is necessary to provide retraction in order to view and manipulate internal structures of the body during general endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures.

  • Page 52: Special Observations And Precautions

    3. Using the Surgical Surveyor Special Observations and Precautions The use of the Aperture™ Surgical Surveyor as a dissector is promoted by the blade thickness and the leading edge of the rounded lifter. The safety of this dissection is not complete: ordinary caution is required when in the vicinity of critical structures.
