Nelson-Patterson empyema trocar 8 1/2 size #2 8.0mm

Focused Thoracic Access for Empyema Procedures

The Nelson-Patterson empyema trocar is an 8 1/2-inch trocar designed for establishing focused access during procedures involving empyema management. Its size #2 configuration and 8.0mm diameter provide a defined instrument profile for controlled handling within thoracic surgical workflows. The extended length can support access where reach is important, while the trocar format helps organize a procedural step that requires deliberate entry and instrument positioning. Suitable for consideration in both General Surgery and Cardiovascular settings, it offers a recognizable, purpose-specific option for teams seeking consistent access equipment without adding unnecessary complexity to the operative setup.

Use Cases

• Support thoracic access during procedures involving empyema management.
• Provide a purpose-specific trocar option for General Surgery workflows.
• Support access requirements in Cardiovascular surgical settings involving the thoracic region.
• Use the 8 1/2-inch length when the planned approach calls for extended instrument reach.
• Integrate the size #2, 8.0mm trocar into procedural setups requiring a defined access diameter.
