Stability Makes Low Pressure Possible

High-BMI patients present ventilation challenges during bariatric surgery. AirSeal® helps maintain stable visualization at low pressure during retraction, suction, and stapling without relying on higher pressure.

See the difference during suction and smoke evacuation.

Low Pressure Without Compromising Visualization

  • In general and bariatric procedures, AirSeal® demonstrated statistically lower peak airway pressure and lower EICO compared to standard insufflation.1
  • During Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, AirSeal® reduced operative time by an average of 12.3 minutes and demonstrated lower estimated blood loss compared to conventional access systems.2
  • Low-pressure bariatric surgery with AirSeal® showed trends toward lower pain scores, improved mobilization, and shorter hospital stay.3-5

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.
