Description

The AIRSEAL ACCESS PORT by CONMED is an innovative surgical device designed to enhance the efficiency and safety of laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. As a crucial component of the AirSeal system, it offers a valve-free design that ensures seamless access to the surgical site, allowing for the effortless introduction and removal of instruments, clips, sutures, mesh, and specimens.

Key Features

• Stable Pneumoperitoneum: The port maintains consistent intra-abdominal pressure, creating a reliable surgical environment without the need for a physical valve. This is achieved through its unique three-lumen cannula, which manages insufflation, smoke evacuation, and the creation of an invisible air seal barrier.

• Enhanced Visibility: Integrated smoke evacuation with ULPA filtration significantly reduces surgical smoke, improving visibility and minimizing potential hazards.

• High-Flow Insufflation: Supports rapid and stable cavity distension, while the valve-less trocar design minimizes mechanical obstruction and reduces laparoscope smudging.

Design Specifications

The AIRSEAL ACCESS PORT is available in various configurations to meet diverse surgical requirements:

• Diameters: 5mm, 8mm, 12mm
• Lengths: 75mm, 100mm, 120mm, 150mm
• Obturator Types: Includes low profile with bladeless optical tip, blunt tip, and palm grip options

Each configuration is packaged with six units per box, providing flexibility and convenience for surgical teams.

Compatibility

The device is compatible with the AirSeal iFS Intelligent Flow System and requires specific filtered tubing sets for optimal performance. It supports both optical and blunt (Hasson) entry types, making it versatile for various surgical approaches.

Intended Use

Suitable for a wide range of minimally invasive procedures, including abdominal, thoracic, and pediatric surgeries for patients weighing 20kg or more. The port effectively maintains and monitors surgical cavity pressure, compensates for pressure changes, and facilitates smoke evacuation, even in single-site surgical platforms.

Operational Modes

The system operates in multiple modes, including Insufflation, AirSeal (Adult and Pediatric), and Smoke Evacuation. It provides real-time monitoring and adjustment of CO₂ flow and pressure, enhancing surgical precision and control.

Clinical Benefits

The AIRSEAL ACCESS PORT offers numerous clinical advantages, such as improved pulmonary compliance, reduced narcotic use, decreased operative time, and lower intraoperative blood loss. It also contributes to better post-surgical outcomes, with earlier resolution of subcutaneous emphysema.

Additional Notes

• Condensation Management: The system addresses condensation issues by heating the tri-lumen tube, maintaining a clear and dry surgical field.
• Scope Cleaning Reduction: By reducing smoke and mist, it decreases the need for frequent scope cleaning, enhancing surgical visibility compared to conventional systems.

This advanced access port is a valuable asset for surgical teams, promoting enhanced efficiency, safety, and outcomes in minimally invasive procedures.
