AirSeal® iFS
AirSeal® is the ONLY insufflator backed by clinical data.
36 peer-reviewed studies across five specialties demonstrated that AirSeal®:
What Sets AirSeal® Apart
Pressure precision with AirSeal® enables you to perform surgery at low pressure with confidence, knowing you will maintain your working space. Unlike conventional high-flow insufflation, AirSeal® maintains a stable pneumoperitoneum even with large leaks and heavy suction.1,2
How AirSeal® Helps You Intraoperatively
AirSeal® provides uninterrupted visibility and clear operative fields through stable pneumoperitoneum and constant smoke evacuation, enabling you to operate efficiently at low pressure.1,2
How AirSeal® Works Differently
A proprietary cannula design creates a responsive gas barrier, ensuring CO2 flow and pressure consistency. This enables precision at low pressure without compromising surgical exposure.
Patients Benefit from Low Pressure
Published data also shows that laparoscopic surgery with AirSeal® at low pressure, versus standard insufflation, improved postoperative pain scores.5-12
“After hundreds of cases and a significant amount of data collected in our research studies, I was confident that the AirSeal® System would become the new standard of care. I will not operate without it.”
Jaime Landman, MD
Professor of Urology and Radiology Chairman, Department of Urology University of California
AirSeal®’s proprietary cannula design ensures uninterrupted CO2 flow and simultaneous smoke evacuation to create a responsive gas barrier that maintains a stable pneumoperitoneum. This is different from devices that attempt to deliver multiple functions through the same lumen.
- Multiple lengths and sizes
- Bladeless optical and blunt tip configurations
- Only one required per procedure
CONMED and Intuitive Surgical's collaboration brings you the AirSeal® Robotic Solution. This enables seamless integration with the da Vinci X and XI systems* - without the need for an assist port.
A 3-in-1 Solution to Accommodate Every OR
“I can’t emphasize enough how much AirSeal® has helped both myself and my patients. I believe in AirSeal® because it improves my patients’ outcomes and maintains my surgical exposure… even in smokey cases and when I have a high BMI patient.”
Eben Strobos, MD, FACS, FASCRS
