Case description

Current instrumentation and technology for abdominal entry is highly effective and safe. However, despite its rarity, in human hands, accidents during entry are inevitable.

Streaming hollow-entry is a common sense preventative strategy that utilizes a small, hollow, bluntly configured 3 mm skin punch that disrupts the intra-abdominal vacuum, inducing an instantaneous pressure equalization as gas pressure moves naturally from high to low. 

A quick and simple maneuver of the punch device eliminates the risk of past-pointing accidents and creates conditions for effortless trocar insertion into a 'safety bubble', satisfying the postulate: less force = safer entry, no force = safest entry.

A modified and ergonomic design of a 3 mm skin punch can be obtained for clinical trials at: hollowentry.com.
