A manual CO2 insufflator is a medical device used in minimally invasive surgical procedures, particularly in endoscopic interventions, where carbon dioxide (CO2) is 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 general features you might find in a manual CO2 insufflator:
Pressure Adjustment:
The ability to manually adjust and control the insufflation pressure based on the surgical requirements.
Flow Rate Control:
Manual control over the rate at which CO2 is introduced into the body cavity.
Pressure Gauge:
A pressure gauge to monitor and display the current insufflation pressure during the procedure.
Safety Features:
Manual safety mechanisms to prevent overpressurization and ensure patient safety.
Compatibility:
Designed to be compatible with various endoscopic equipment and insufflation tubing.
User-Friendly Design:
Easy-to-use design for the surgical team to set up and control the insufflation parameters.
Portability:
Some manual insufflators may be designed to be portable for use in various surgical settings.
Simple Operation:
Typically operated manually by the surgical team, without the need for complex electronic controls.
