A digital advanced CO2 insufflator is a medical device used in minimally invasive surgery, particularly in endoscopic procedures where carbon dioxide (CO2) is insufflated or introduced into a body cavity to create a clear working space for the surgeon.
This is commonly used in procedures such as laparoscopy and endoscopy.
Here are some features you might find in a digital advanced CO2 insufflator:
Digital Control Panel:
Typically, these devices have a digital control panel for setting and adjusting parameters such as insufflation pressure, flow rate, and other relevant settings.
Pressure Monitoring:
The ability to monitor and control the pressure of the insufflated CO2 gas is crucial for patient safety and procedural efficiency.
Flow Rate Control:
Adjustable flow rates to control the rate at which CO2 is introduced into the body cavity.
Insufflation Pressure Display:
Digital display of the current insufflation pressure, allowing the surgical team to monitor and adjust as needed.
Gas Heating and Humidification:
Some advanced insufflators have features to heat and humidify the CO2 gas, reducing the risk of hypothermia during prolonged procedures.
Safety Alarms:
Audible and visual alarms to alert the surgical team if the insufflation pressure exceeds set limits or if there are other safety concerns.
User-friendly Interface:
Intuitive interface for ease of use, allowing surgeons and operating room staff to quickly and efficiently set up and control the insufflation parameters.
Compact Design:
Many insufflators are designed to be compact and portable for easy integration into the operating room setup.
Compatibility:
Compatibility with a variety of endoscopic equipment and insufflation tubing.
