The RSG-14 is a single-use percutaneous puncture-closure device for laparoscopic trocar site management. Designed to deliver and capture suture through the abdominal fascia for secure closure of port sites.
Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
The Ranfac RSG-14 is a single-use percutaneous puncture-closure device for laparoscopic trocar site management. The instrument carries suture through the abdominal fascia and recaptures it on the opposite side, allowing the surgeon to close port sites under direct visualization. Each device ships sterile, ethylene-oxide processed, and individually packaged.
The RSG-14 is part of the Ranfac surgical-instrument portfolio for laparoscopic and percutaneous procedures. It pairs with the rest of the Ranfac MIS family — insufflation (IN-12), percutaneous introducer (PIN-15), and cholangiography catheters (LAP-13, XL-11) — across the standard laparoscopic workflow.
Refer to the device Instructions for Use (IFU, 76004-01M Rev C) for the full indications, contraindications, warnings, and step-by-step procedure. The device is intended for the surgical closure of laparoscopic trocar puncture sites.
Surgeons use puncture-closure devices for secure fascia closure at laparoscopic trocar sites, particularly at port sites ≥10 mm where fascial closure reduces the risk of postoperative hernia. The RSG-14 supports closure under direct laparoscopic visualization.
Trocar site fascia closure at ≥10 mm ports during general laparoscopic procedures.
Port-site closure where postoperative hernia risk is elevated due to BMI or port size.
Pelvic laparoscopic port-site management.
Used across general, bariatric, gynecologic, and urologic laparoscopic procedures where the device is part of the surgeon's standard instrument set.
