ERBE BiClamp E LAP Operating room The two sides of MIS surgery
Since the launch of laparoscopic surgery around 20 years ago, millions of patients worldwide have profited from the minimal invasive surgical technique. One man‘s joy is another man’s sorrow: The procedures which are gentle for the patient are often far less gentle for the surgeon than the open surgery option.
Longer operation times, restricted room for movement and unaccustomed and rigid postures with laparoscopic procedures lead to the surgeon suffering these complaints1) .
  • Muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
  • Back complaints
  • Headaches as a result of tension
  • Eyestrain(operation is followed on the monitor)
  • Inflammation of the tendons, for example in the hand (carpal tunnel syndrome)

ERBE BiClamp E LAP BiClamp E LAP relaxes the posture
E stands for Ergonomics. Because the full rotation of the handle without stops means the surgeon can operate the instrument in a more flexible and therefore more relaxed and safer way. The complete posture – from the neck down to the shoulders through to the spine – profits from the instrument’s ergonomic operability.
