AirSeal® enables surgeons to perform laparoscopic and robotic-assisted general surgery procedures at low pressure with confidence.
We see much less reported pain associated with trapped CO2, especially in the shoulder regions. In my practice, I have standardized AirSeal® and have seen a clear benefit in patient outcomes. Almost all of the operations are now completely at a pressure of 10mmHg or less, and the average is approximately 6-8mmHg.

With AirSeal®, I know that my pressure will stay where I set it. When I can maintain that environment, it affects everything: predictable respiratory metrics, reduced tissue trauma, and stable visual field.

We employ AirSeal® in all of our eTEP hernia repairs when visualization is extremely important in the small working area. The operation is started at a pressure of 15mmHg and then quickly reduced below 10mmHg. At the time of closure, our average pressure is 5-7mmHg, which allows for a nice tension-free closure.

The Anchor Tissue Retrieval System™ offers specially designed bag shapes for general surgeons, an array of trocar and volume sizes to match procedural needs, and bags that pair with the AirSeal® Robotic System.
