AlphaDur® Fortis –
Innovation for Microinvasive Surgery
Discover uncompromised precision and versatility with Gimmi’s AlphaDur® Fortis. From slim diameter, dimensional stability and ergonomic handles to multiple working lengths, this instrument sets new standards for microinvasive surgery.
Ergonomic handle – Precision meets comfort
Experience well established ergonomics with the axial handle of AlphaDur® Fortis for microinvasive surgery. Choose from multiple handle options – with or without ratchet, with or without rings – to provide optimal control, while rings deliver extra support for intricate dissection tasks.
Wide range of jaws – From scissors to needle holders
AlphaDur® Fortis offers an extensive selection of jaws designed for microinvasive surgery. Options include scissors, graspers, and needle holders to cover a broad spectrum of surgical applications with precision and reliability.
Slim yet strong – Strength without compromise
The reduced diameter of 2.7 mm of AlphaDur® Fortis does not mean reduced strength. The robust, high-strength shaft tube provides maximum stability and durability for precise surgical performance. This advanced design offers reliable handling, combining minimal instrument size ensuring consistent strength throughout the surgical procedures.
Several working lengths – More surgical flexibility
Gimmi’s AlphaDur® Fortis is available in three working lengths to adapt to diverse surgical needs: 160 mm for delicate pediatric procedures, 225 mm specially optimized for hernia indications, and 300 mm as the trusted standard for microinvasive surgery.
Advantages of Gimmi's AlphaDur® Fortis at a glance
The benefits of AlphaDur® Fortis go beyond precision. From less post-operative trauma and exceptional stability to versatile working lengths and Luer-Lock connection for optimal cleaning, this instrument is engineered to meet high demands of microinvasive surgery.
Less trauma
Due to the reduced diameter, there is hardly any post-operative pain, scarring is minimal, the probability of a trocar hernia is significantly reduced, and no suturing is required for the bladeless trocar incisions.
Reduced diameter
The use of special materials ensures uncompromised stability and strength of the AlphaDur® Fortis. Hence this instrument with its 2.7 mm diameter is comparable to laparoscopic instruments with a diameter of 5 mm.
Multiple working lengths
The AlphaDur® Fortis instrument is available in three working lengths: 160 mm for pediatrics, 225 mm optimized for hernia procedures, and 300 mm for standard microinvasive surgeries.
In the field – AlphaDur® Fortis across minimally invasive applications
The AlphaDur® Fortis is used in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, especially for procedures that require the smallest possible access points. This makes it an ideal choice for interventions such as:
- NOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery)
- SILS (Single Port Laparoscopic Surgery)
- MILS (Minimal Incision Laparoscopic Surgery)
Due to the special material, extremely small trocar diameters can be used in combination with the instrument. This supports the standard triangulated technique, enabling nearly scarless surgeries with fewer complications, such as in hernia repair. It ensures precise dissection and suturing after a short learning curve and is highly durable for repeated use.

What is AlphaDur® Fortis?
A patented instrument system for microinvasive hernia surgery, offering high stability with a small diameter (2.7 mm) for less pain and faster recovery.
What procedures are supported?
Ideal for TAPP and MILS hernia surgeries and other laparoscopic procedures.
How does AlphaDur® Fortis differ from standard instruments?
It’s nearly half the diameter of conventional instruments, causing less tissue trauma but maintaining strength.
How is wound healing improved?
Precise, bladeless incisions minimize nerve and vessel damage; most wounds need only a plaster, not sutures.
How can the AlphaDur® Fortis be sterilized?
Sterilization should be performed using steam autoclaving, in accordance with the reprocessing guidelines provided in the relevant Instructions for Use (IFU).
Which working lengths are available?
