Description
The 12 mm Trocar is a laparoscopic access instrument designed to create and maintain a working channel through the abdominal wall. Its larger cannula accommodates compatible laparoscopic instruments and devices that require more space than standard 5 mm or 10 mm ports.
Salwan Surgicare is a leading manufacturer of surgical instruments supplying 12 mm Trocars to hospitals, distributors, procurement companies, laparoscopic surgery centres, healthcare organisations, and OEM partners worldwide.
A typical trocar assembly includes an obturator, cannula, valve housing, sealing components, and an insufflation stopcock. The obturator supports controlled port placement. After access is established, the obturator is removed while the cannula remains positioned as the working channel.
The sealing mechanism helps limit gas leakage when compatible instruments are introduced or withdrawn. Meanwhile, the stopcock provides a connection point for an appropriate insufflation system.
This 12 mm model complements the existing 5 mm and 10 mm Trocars in the product catalogue. Publishing each diameter separately makes it easier for buyers to locate the required port size.
12 mm Trocar Uses
The 12 mm Trocar is used to establish a larger access port during laparoscopic and other minimally invasive surgical procedures. It provides a passage for compatible telescopes, stapling devices, specimen instruments, clip applicators, and other equipment suited to the selected cannula diameter.
During placement, the obturator is positioned inside the cannula. The assembled trocar is then introduced according to the surgeon’s chosen access technique. Once the cannula has entered the required position, the obturator is withdrawn.
The cannula remains in place throughout the relevant stage of the procedure. Compatible surgical instruments can then be passed through its central channel.
The valve housing helps maintain pneumoperitoneum during instrument exchange. In addition, the stopcock may support insufflation or controlled gas release according to the surgical setup.
Benefits of the 12 mm Trocar
The wider access channel accommodates compatible instruments that cannot pass through smaller trocar sizes. Therefore, it is useful when a procedure requires larger laparoscopic equipment.
An integrated sealing system helps reduce unnecessary gas loss during instrument insertion and withdrawal. This supports a stable operative working space.
The insufflation stopcock offers a convenient connection for compatible tubing. It may also assist with controlled desufflation when required.
A correctly aligned obturator and cannula support smooth assembly and handling. Furthermore, the structured housing allows efficient introduction and exchange of instruments.
Separate 5 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm product pages improve catalogue navigation. Buyers can compare the available diameters and select the size required for their surgical sets.

Material & Quality
The reusable 12 mm Trocar may be manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel together with suitable valve and sealing materials. Exact materials depend on the approved product configuration.
Production focuses on cannula diameter, obturator alignment, tip formation, valve operation, stopcock movement, component fit, and surface finishing. Accurate construction supports smooth assembly and instrument passage.
Each trocar is inspected for cannula consistency, obturator fit, sealing performance, stopcock operation, external finish, and overall workmanship before packaging.
Available within our broader trocars range, the 12 mm Trocar provides a dedicated larger-diameter access option alongside the existing 5 mm and 10 mm models.
Export-Ready Instruments
Salwan Surgicare supplies 12 mm Trocars to hospitals, distributors, procurement companies, laparoscopic centres, healthcare organisations, and medical equipment dealers across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, East Asia, South Asia, North America, and South America.
OEM manufacturing, private labelling, customised markings, and tailored packaging are available for qualified partners. Selected lengths, obturator tips, cannula surfaces, and valve configurations may be supplied according to approved specifications.
