GMDN Term Definition: A slender, sharply-pointed metal tube designed to introduce or remove gas from the peritoneal cavity as a therapeutic or surgical/radiological procedural method. It is often inserted into the peritoneal cavity for the purpose of insufflation [e.g., with carbon dioxide (CO2)] to establish pneumoperitoneum prior to abdominal endoscopy. It is equipped with a spring-loaded, round-tipped obturator that extends from the tube when the device does not encounter resistance (i.e., when the cavity has been reached) to prevent damage from the sharp point. This is a single-use device.

Manufacturer

Covidien’s AutoSuture business now resides within Medtronic’s Surgical Operating Unit, under the Medical Surgical Portfolio. This group is focused on delivering advanced technologies for minimally invasive surgery, with a deep legacy in surgical stapling, energy devices, and laparoscopic instrumentation.

Key products from the former AutoSuture line include:

Endo GIA™ staplers and reloads – a flagship line of linear cutting staplers used in a variety of laparoscopic and open procedures.
Signia™ – a powered stapling platform offering real-time feedback and adaptive firing technology.
LigaSure™ – a trusted vessel sealing system for tissue fusion and hemostasis.
VersaOne™ trocars – for secure and versatile access during minimally invasive surgery.
Sonicision™ – cordless ultrasonic dissection tools that combine energy and precision.

These technologies form the backbone of Medtronic’s minimally invasive surgical portfolio, originally developed under the AutoSuture brand by U.S. Surgical Corporation, then acquired by Tyco Healthcare, which later became Covidienbefore merging with Medtronic in 2015. Today, Medtronic continues to build on this heritage, delivering solutions that enhance efficiency, precision, and outcomes in the operating room.
