Welcome to Endoplus
Endoplus is a domestic medical device manufacturer specializing
in reusable laparoscopic instruments. Your instrument will be
designed, manufactured, and assembled in the United States of
America. Know that Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost are
priorities which guide our decisions.
Our Signature
Series is a selection of the more commonly requested
laparoscopic instrument configurations. Expect prompt customer
service, on-time shipping, reliable instruments.
When you
have a need which is outside of our Signature Series, such as
longer shaft length or perhaps a unique jaw pattern, you have
the option to create a custom instrument. As you might imagine,
custom solutions often take more time and effort. Plan to have a
conversation with an Endoplus representative whose first
objective will be to understand your need. Expect professional,
collaborative customer service followed up with a quotation
explaining the price and lead time for your solution.Why
Endoplus
Endoplus instruments are designed to be durable, easy to clean,
and to feel right in the surgeon's hands.
Endoplus
linkage mechanisms are nearly twice as thick with nearly 3 times
the volume of stainless steel as some of our competitors.
Cleaning prior to sterilization is critical! It is not enough to
just have a flush port on an instrument. Endoplus single-piece,
reusable instruments are designed with internal clearance to
allow a high volume of liquid to pass through the lumen and exit
the distal end. The result is more effective cleaning prior to
sterilization.
Medical instruments should be a natural
extension of the human body. Actions must be possible in an
intuitive, comfortable, and easy way, while feedback must be
supplied in such a way that forces and displacements containing
feedback information are undisturbed and within the range of
good sensitivity of the surgeon's hands. For intuitive control,
the surgeon's actions must correspond with actions of the
instrument (e.g. exerting force on a hand-grip of a forceps
corresponds with the pinching of the gripper). This also holds
true for feedback (e.g. the feedback of the pinch force is
preferably realized as a reaction force on the hand-grip of the
forceps), while the overall control scheme must correlate with
human nature, being comfortable requires good ergonomics
throughout the handling procedure. 1
Endoplus single-piece laparoscopic instruments are
comfortable for the surgeon to use and provide the surgeon with
sensory feedback which can help prevent tissue damage.
Finally, analysis of the cost effectiveness of reusable forceps
against disposable instruments has shown that properly
sterilized instruments are equal in efficacy and safety while
simultaneously reducing the cost per procedure significantly.
Studies have shown that the cost reductions associated with
reusable devices may cause Medicare and other private insurers
to reduce reimbursement payments for procedures.

Durable, easy to clean, Endoplus single-piece,
reusable laparoscopic instruments are an excellent solution for
hospitals and surgery centers needing to reduce cost without
compromising safety, quality, or surgeon comfort.
We
look forward to working with you!
