What is one of the roles of the obturator in the VersaOne closure system?

The role of the obturator in the VersaOne closure system primarily involves providing access for suturing. As part of the system, the obturator serves to facilitate the introduction of instruments or sutures into the body through the trocar. By enabling this access, the obturator plays a crucial role in ensuring that the surgical procedure can be carried out effectively and efficiently. The design of the obturator allows it to create a safe pathway through the abdominal wall, enabling the surgeon to perform necessary suturing without compromising the integrity of the surrounding tissues.

Other functions, such as creating an incision, maintaining pneumoperitoneum, and insufflating the abdomen, are performed by different components of the surgical system. The incision is typically made prior to the insertion of the obturator, while pneumoperitoneum maintenance and abdominal insufflation are typically managed by specialized equipment and protocols designed to keep the abdominal cavity inflated for optimal surgical access.
