LapCap2® is a sterile, single use, dome-shaped device that uses negative pressure to raise the abdominal wall above critical organs and vessels. This new way of creating space in laparoscopic entry while stabilizing the abdomen intuitively reduces risk of complications, enables efficient, time saving laparoscopic entry, and provides a less traumatic method of lifting a patient’s abdominal wall.

“The ESGE conference was the ideal venue to launch our first product, LapCap2,” stated Richard J. Prati, Chief Executive Officer of Life Care. “This annual meeting included some of the world’s most prestigious endoscopy clinicians, practitioners and thought leaders, which provided us with the opportunity to showcase LapCap2 for use in Europe. This is the first step in our strategy to reshape treatment paradigms by introducing LapCap2 into the estimated $560 million global laparoscopic surgical entry market.”

“LapCap2 acts as another pair of skilled hands, freeing the surgeon to concentrate fully on Veress needle entry,” explained Camran R. Nezhat, M.D. FACOG, FACS, internationally renowned minimally invasive and robotic surgeon and father of video-assisted endoscopic surgery. “There is a critical unmet need in laparoscopic surgery for consistent, reproducible entry and rapid creation of pneumoperitoneum. LapCap2 is specifically designed to address these needs. We believe LapCap2 will provide surgeons with additional confidence and advance the standard of care in laparoscopic surgery.”

“We were extremely pleased with the positive feedback and interest in LapCap2 that we received from the attendees at ESGE,” added Robin Stephens, Chief Operating Officer of the Company. “Our initial marketing strategy is focused on reshaping the treatment paradigm for the approximately 1.5 million gynaecological laparoscopic surgeries performed each year in Europe and the United States. We believe European surgeons will begin to quickly understand the importance of LapCap2.”

The Company expects to commence its U.S. launch of LapCap2 next month at the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) Global Congress in Las Vegas, Nevada.
