Stability Makes Low Pressure Possible
Conventional insufflation often requires higher pressure to maintain visualization. AirSeal® helps maintain stable pneumoperitoneum enabling low pressure surgery without compromising exposure.
Improve Outcomes in General Surgery
- Patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with AirSeal® had a 34.7% shorter length of stay compared to standard insufflation.1
- Low pressure AirSeal® surgery was associated with reduced post-operative pain and increased likelihood of same-day discharge in laparoscopic hernia procedures.2,3
- Clinical studies demonstrated improved ventilatory parameters including lower peak inspiratory pressure and reduced etCO2 during minimally invasive surgery.4
Pressure Stability:
Conventional vs. Advanced Insufflation
Conventional insufflation can fluctuate significantly during suction and leaks. AirSeal® helps maintain a more stable pneumoperitoneum to support visualization and procedural continuity.
