AirSeal® combines the design and function of its 3 proprietary components to create a laparoscopic/robotic working environment that is exceptionally stable and remarkably clear.

The combination of stable pneumoperitoneum, continuous smoke evacuation, and valve-free access to the abdominal cavity are made possible by the high flow, pressure sensing capabilities of the AirSeal® iFS, the Tri-Lumen Filtered Tube Set, and the Access Port, which is the focal point of the system.

Inside the cannula housing of the AirSeal® Access Port, a series of high pressure nozzles direct recirculated gas downward into the cannula to counterbalance the set intra-abdominal pressure. At this point, an equilibrium is reached, creating a horizontal air barrier inside the cannula housing. A continuous flow circuit is also activated, simultaneously evacuating intra-abdominal gas (now containing CO₂ & smoke), filtering it, and recirculating it through the high pressure nozzles. Slight changes in intra-abdominal pressure are detected by the real-time sensing capabilities of the iFS and flow adjustments are made instantaneously, either sending more gas into the cavity or allowing it to vent out of the Access Port. The result is a stable pneumoperitoneum that is unlike anything conventional insufflation and trocar systems can provide.
