Advanced Technology for Vital Treatment
Advanced Technology for Vital Treatment
To work near the body’s most vital organs, you need empowering technology. The AirSeal® System is the first system cleared by the FDA for thoracic insufflation. AirSeal® provides constant pressure control, which keeps the lungs and diaphragm down for enhanced exposure even during continuous suction. The valve-free access design eliminates fragmentation during node retrieval.
"Patients just want a wonderful outcome. AirSeal® is an adjunct that allows me to provide that outcome for them… safe, effective, and efficient thoracic surgery."
