co2 Insufflator

Laparoscopic surgery is sometimes called keyhole surgery. Laparoscopic technology uses a small video camera and a few customized instruments to perform surgery with minimal tissue injury. The camera along with the instruments are inserted into the abdomen or chest through small incisions. A fiber optic cable system connected to a 'cold' light source (halogen or xenon), to illuminate the operative field, inserted through a 5 mm or 10 mm cannula or trocar to view the operative field. The surgeon can explore the whole cavity without the need of making large incisions through skin and muscle. After the cut is made in the umbilical area (belly button), a special needle is inserted to start insufflation. Or essentially blown up like a balloon, with carbon dioxide gas. A CO2 insufflator to regulate pressure is connected to the needle which is then removed and replaced with a 10mm trocar. This elevates the abdominal wall above the internal organs like a dome to create a working and viewing space. CO2 is used because it is common to the human body and can be absorbed by tissue and removed by the respiratory system. It is also non-flammable, which is important because electrosurgical devices are commonly used in laparoscopic procedures. The camera shows the surgeon what he needs to see in order to perform the necessary surgery by inserting his instruments through other small incisions. The Easemed CO2 Insufflator is a complete new designed line of CO2 insufflators with outstanding technical features. The units are controlled by microprocessors of the latest generation. Stable pressure balance in the abdomen is guaranteed by high gas flow performance and low insufflation pressure. Easemed CO2 Insufflator meets all your needs in minimal invasive surgery. Its unique feature is a 30 & 40 liter per minute gas insufflation that delivers excellent stability of pressure and higher level of patient safety.
