Improved Clinical Outcomes for Patients
During laparascopic and da Vinci urology procedures, AirSeal® provides superior visualization by offering constant smoke evacuation and stable pneumoperitoneum, even during heavy suction and large trocar leaks. With AirSeal®, surgeons can operate with confidence at ultra-low intra-abdominal pressure, which has been shown to improve patient outcomes.1-5
“One of the advantages of the AirSeal® System is that you have a constant pneumo pressure, so no matter how much suction, you’re going to have a constant pneumo and venous bleeding becomes less of a problem.”
