Taut™ delivers proven minimally invasive solutions designed to address the number one cause of complications in laparoscopic surgery. Taut's™ ADAPt™ bladeless laparoscopic access devices eliminate the need for trocars with metal or plastic blades. The patented ADAPt™ tip dilates through tissues without cutting blades, leaving a defect 58% smaller than the most commonly used bladed trocars.

Clinical studies show the revolutionary results that can be achieved with the ADAPt™ laparoscopic ports:

  • ADAPt™ ports reduced defect size by 58% when compared to the most commonly used trocar in America today. Download study.
  • ADAPt™ ports reduced defect size by 45% when compared to the most commonly used bladeless technology available. Download study.
  • Fascial closure of 10mm and 12mm port sites was deemed unnecessary 99.3% of the time in a prospective, multi-center study Download study.
  • ADAPt™ ports avoided complications of any type in hundreds of consecutive cases. Download study.
  • ADAPT™ ports yielded a complication rate of 0.0014% in a large university study. Download Study.

 
 
"The use of the ADAPt™ bladeless trocar system yielded a complication rate of 0.0014%. Despite a large number of surgeons with varying degrees of expertise and a wide variety of surgical procedures and patient demographics, the ADAPt™ bladeless trocar system proved to be a safe and effective laparoscopic access device for use in an academic teaching hospital.."
