What is the SPIDER® Surgical System?

The SPIDER® Surgical System is a laparoscopic platform that is used to perform minimally invasive surgery. Unlike conventional rigid laparoscopic surgery, the SPIDER flexible laparoscopic platform allows multiple instruments to be used through one incision. The result may potentially be fewer incisions and a fast recovery for the patient, while providing surgeons with enhanced capabilities.

SPIDER: DELIVERING THE PROMISE OF FLEXIBLE LAPAROSCOPY.

SPIDER's unique design accommodates a range of flexible instruments through articulating instrument delivery tubes (IDTs), and working channels that allow for the use of current instruments as well. True right and true left instrumentation and triangulation can now be achieved through a single site.

Unlike early single port techniques, SPIDER eliminates the awkward crossed arms movement, allowing a single surgeon to operate the device more naturally for true right and left instrument manipulation.

FLEXIBLE LAPAROSCOPY WITH THE SPIDER SYSTEM IS CHARACTERIZED BY:

Triangulation achieved via single site access
True left and true right instrumentation
Flexible, articulating instruments
A single-operator platform
An open platform with multiple working channels
