Description

The AirSeal Access Port by CONMED is an innovative surgical tool designed to enhance minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopic, robotic, and total endoscopic thyroidectomy surgeries. Its valve-less design integrates seamlessly with the AirSeal System, including the AirSeal iFS insufflation system, to provide stable pneumoperitoneum and facilitate smooth instrument handling.

Key Features

• Valve-less Trocar Design: This unique feature minimizes friction, allowing for the effortless insertion and removal of surgical instruments, clips, needles, sutures, and mesh without mechanical obstruction.

• Double-Walled Cannula: Equipped with four nares at the distal tip, it ensures continuous CO₂ delivery even when instruments are present, maintaining optimal surgical conditions.

• Air Seal Barrier: The recirculated gas forms an air seal at the port's top, preventing gas leakage and maintaining consistent intra-abdominal pressure.

Advanced Integration

The AirSeal Access Port connects with a tri-lumen filtered tube set, providing channels for CO₂ inflow, outflow, and real-time pressure monitoring. This integration offers audible and visual indicators for system status, enhancing safety through controls for venting, occlusion, overpressure, gas supply, and fluid ingress.

Smoke Evacuation and Filtration

Integrated smoke evacuation and filtration systems effectively remove carcinogens and pathogens from surgical smoke, filtering particles down to 0.01 μm. This feature, along with condensation management, ensures a clearer and drier surgical field by reducing water droplets through heated tri-lumen tubes.

Pressure Stability

The system maintains stable pressure during obturator removal and instrument insertion, with dedicated modes for both general and pediatric populations (patients ≥ 20kg). It complies with AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards, ensuring high safety and performance.

Versatile Configurations

The AirSeal Access Port is available in various sizes:

• Diameters: 5mm, 8mm, and 12mm
• Lengths: 100mm, 120mm, and 150mm

Obturator options include a low profile obturator with a bladeless optical tip, a blunt tip obturator, and a palm grip obturator. Specialized models are available for single site surgical platforms, and packaging includes six access ports and tube sets per box.

Surgical Benefits

This access port is particularly beneficial in surgeries with small working spaces, such as TET, pediatric, and robotic procedures. It reduces smoke and mist, improves visibility, and decreases the frequency of scope cleaning. General maintenance guidelines recommend using a suction-assisted smoke evacuation system to minimize gas leakage, enhancing overall surgical efficiency.

The AirSeal Access Port by CONMED represents a significant advancement in surgical technology, offering tailored solutions to meet diverse surgical needs with precision and reliability.
