As of now, the device is to be utilized for laparoscopic abdominal surgical procedures. However, a similar or slightly modified product could be used for gynecological procedures as well, and would aid in the retraction or holding of pelvic or lower abdominal organs in those procedures. In addition, future variations of the design could be applicable to upper abdominal or cardiothoracic procedures as well. This device could also potentially be used in organ resection as well as retraction, in that modifications to the device could potentially allow it to clear the operative field while simultaneously being involved in organ excision.
