"Patton Surgical's commitment to develop surgical devices that improve patient safety is evident in the products they have brought to market. After experiencing the revolutionary double-shielded PassPort for closed laparoscopic entry, I chose Patton Surgical to develop the next generation Hasson H2. Their meticulous attention to detail and dedication to address true surgical needs has garnered my trust that the best design and implementation of the Hasson H2 will be with Patton Surgical"

"It is evident to me, and others at this hospital, that operating with this device could potentially reduce the risks associated with laparoscopic surgery and promote better patient outcomes. I believe the PassPort is the safest trocar on the market."
