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.2,3
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.2,3
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.
Published data also shows that AirSeal® at low pressure, versus standard insufflation, improved postoperative pain scores.6-13
"The AirSeal® Robotic Solution allows me to use AirSeal® on my existing robotic trocar, so I do not need a separate trocar to have all the advantages of the AirSeal® system."
