ABSTRACT:
A pneumoperitoneum needle comprises a lumen defining a passageway through which pneumoperitoneum gases may pass to the peritoneal cavity, a handle mechanism attached to a proximal end portion of the lumen and a filtration unit housed within the handle mechanism for filtering the pneumoperitoneum gases to be passed through the lumen. The filtration unit preferably includes a hydrophobic filter fabricated from a polytetrafluoroethylene material having a pore size ranging in value from about 0.2 to 0.5 microns. In an alternative embodiment, the filtration unit is incorporated within the handle mechanism of a Veress-type needle.
