Laparoscopic Surgery Pioneer Invents New Device; Patton Surgical to Develop the Hasson H2(TM).Hasson H(2)[TM] Will Launch Patton Surgical's MD Signature Series[TM] AUSTIN, Texas -- Patton Surgical has announced that it is developing the Hasson H2[TM], a laparoscopic Laparoscopic A minimally-invasive surgical or diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible endoscope (laparoscope) to view and operate on structures in the abdomen. Mentioned in: Obstetrical Emergencies access device created by renowned surgeon Harrith Hasson, MD. It is the first device being developed by Patton Surgical under its MD Signature Series[TM]. "Dr. Harrith Hasson developed the Hasson Technique (open laparoscopy laparoscopy or peritoneoscopy Procedure for inspecting the abdominal cavity using a laparoscope; also surgery requiring use of a laparoscope. Laparoscopes use fibre-optic lights and small video cameras to show tissues and organs on a monitor. ) more than 30 years ago and his approach to abdominal access is still popular among surgeons around the world," said Michael T. Patton, founder and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Patton Surgical. "He has distinguished himself repeatedly with innovative techniques and designs for instruments that have made surgeries safer for the patient. He continues to be a leader in his specialty, and we are honored to partner with Dr. Hasson on the development of the Hasson H2[TM]." The Hasson H2[TM] is a second-generation cannula cannula /can·nu·la/ (kan´u-lah) a tube for insertion into a vessel, duct, or cavity; during insertion its lumen is usually occupied by a trocar. can·nu·la or can·u·la n. pl. for both open and closed laparoscopic access which provides superior functionality over traditional cannulas, including improved stabilization and reduced loss of pneumoperitoneum during surgery. It will be launched in early 2007 and marks the first offering from the MD Signature Series[TM]. As part of the Patton Design Shop, the MD Signature Series[TM] is a platform for surgeons who see a need for an improved surgical device and are ready to work in partnership with a proven development team to make their vision a reality. The MD Signature Series[TM] features products designed by surgeons for surgeons. "Patton Surgical's commitment to develop surgical devices that improve patient safety is evident in the products they have brought to market," noted Dr. Hasson. "Their meticulous attention to detail and dedication to address true surgical needs has garnered my trust that the best design and implementation of the Hasson H2[TM] will be with Patton Surgical." Patton Surgical is the designer of the complete PassPort([R]) line of laparoscopic entry devices that provide surgeons optimal control and patients superior protection.

The PassPort([R]) series also offers the Non-Shielded PassPort([R]) and Funnel([R]) Cannulas - the latter creates a larger target for more efficient access and seamless instrument exchange.
