The Benefits of AirSeal® without an Assist Port
Prostatectomy as a medical term refers to the surgical removal of all or part of the prostate gland. This operation is done for benign conditions that cause urinary retention, as well as for prostate cancer and other cancers of the pelvis. A low pressure approach using CONMED's AirSeal® System can now be seamlessly integrated into your da Vinci robotic workflow, without the need for an assist port. AirSeal® offers superior smoke evacuation while maintaining a stable pneumoperitoneum, even at low pressure. Clinical data has shown reduced PACU stay, shorter procedure times and reduced length of stay.1-4
AirSeal® Robotic Solution
Fully compatible with da Vinci X and XI systems so you can incorporate AirSeal® technology without the extra trocar
airseal robotic solution tubing and access port connected to each other
AIRSEAL®
AirSeal® iFS
Enables you to perform surgery at a set pressure with confidence, so you'll maintain your working space. Unlike conventional high-flow insufflation, AirSeal® maintains a stable pneumoperitoneum even with large leaks and heavy suction.1,2
