- The suction of the LiVac Retractor causes the liver to cohere to the diaphragm during surgery, thereby allowing access to the organs below and minimizing trauma to the liver.
- The suction tubing exits alongside existing ports, hence no additional incisions are required.
- Liver retraction is achieved in upper gastrointestinal surgeries without additional incisions and thereby minimizing trauma to the patient.
- While the device will find broad application in multi-port laparoscopic surgeries a major benefit is that it is also especially suited to single port laparoscopic surgeries.
