Transform Surgical Efficiency and Outcomes with Clinically Proven AirSeal® Technology

Medical procurement leaders are facing pressure to deliver revenue amidst unprecedented challenges. Supply chain issues, staffing shortages, and a high focus on value-based healthcare can make you feel like you’re being asked to deliver the impossible.

We hear you, and we can help.

LOWERING COST OF CARE THROUGH MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY

We are helping facilities harness the power of low pressure to increase procedural efficiency, reduce length of stay, and impact their cost of care with AirSeal® - regardless of if your surgeons are using a robotic or traditional laparoscopic approach.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Post-operative metrics show operating at low pressure with AirSeal® delivers:
 
 
50% Icon

Reduction
in hospital length of stay1-8

 50% Icon

Reduction
in PACU length of stay1-8

 
By reducing PACU time, length of stay, and 30-day ER visits and readmissions, savings accumulate quickly.9

PATIENT BENEFITS

Recently published clinical studies using AirSeal® at low pressure have also concluded:

Reduction in Postoperative Pain Scores1-8

Improved Respiratory Parameters2,3,10-15

Decreased Complications & 30-day Readmissions4,13,14,16-20

AirSeal® iFS is the innovative insufflator transforming laparoscopic procedures and outcomes. 

By delivering stable, consistent pnuemo and smoke evacuation, AirSeal provides your patients the benefits of operating at low pressure with AirSeal® including reducing length of stay.

“If patients feel better after their operation, we’re able to send them home. If our recovery rooms are full then we can’t move on to the next patient. And so, it helps the hospital and everyone overall if we can get the patients home faster.”
