The PMI512 Disposable Site Closure Kit is a surgical accessory kit tailored to facilitate secure closure of port sites (access incisions) used in laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgeries. After the surgeon has completed the internal portion of the procedure and is ready to close the port incision, this kit provides the tools needed to thread, grasp, and tie sutures through fascia or muscle layers while preserving pneumoperitoneum (in applicable cases) and maintaining surgical efficiency. The inclusion of a suture grasper and two sizes of suture guides gives the surgeon flexibility to adapt to different port diameters (5/8 mm and 10/12 mm) depending on the surgical access used.

One of the design strengths is modular versatility: the suture guides are tapered with smooth edges and angled holes, which allow the suture grasper to be guided precisely into tissue planes and minimize soft tissue trauma or entanglement. Because the kit is disposable / single use and sterile, it reduces logistical burden (no cleaning or sterilization) and lowers risk of contamination. The robust outer shafts (12 gauge) specified in the PMI closure portfolio suggest the instruments can withstand moderate manipulation without bending, which is essential in the limited spatial constraints around port sites.

In practice, the kit streamlines the closure workflow. With the suture guide inserted through the port, the grasper can reach across the fascial edges to capture sutures, pass them back through the opposite side of the fascial layer, and allow knot tying. This process helps ensure a tight, full-thickness closure of the port site, reducing the risk of herniation or wound complications at trocar sites. Because the kit supports multiple port sizes (with both 5/8 mm and 10/12 mm guides), the surgeon can match the closure tool to the port used without needing separate kits. Overall, the PMI512 kit is intended to deliver a simple, reproducible solution for consistent port-site closure in endoscopic surgery settings.
