Intelligent Flow System
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.
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.
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. LEARN MORE HERE.
“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.”
