AirSeal® Offers Low Pressure Benefits for High BMI Patients
Operating at lower pressure enhances patient outcomes2-6
AirSeal® provides pressure precision and smoke evacuation in laparoscopic and robotic procedures. This enables clear and constant exposure with low pressure, increasing surgical efficiency by reducing procedure times, PACU times, and length of stay.7,8
I have noticed a significant decrease in peak inspiratory airway pressure and mean airway pressure while using the AirSeal® system. These benefits are extremely important when taking care of obese patients who have increased airway resistance and decreased pulmonary compliance from baseline.

AirSeal® Robotic Solution
For my robotic-assisted roux-en-y gastric bypass, the 8mm AirSeal® access port allows for constant low pressure control and easy passage of suture.

AirSeal® Robotic Solution makes it easier, specifically during removal of the stomach or if you get into a bleed during a robotic-assisted gastric sleeve. AirSeal® ensures you do not lose pneumoperitoneum.
