Technology
Spatium Medical’s insufflator uses patented turbine technology to provide personalised, stable and ventilation adjusted insufflation.
Reciprocal Insufflation
Personalised Pressure
Pressure Stabilization
Personalised Pressure
Endoscopic Oscillometry was developed to estimate surgical workspace compliance. Endoscopic Oscillometry is noninvasive and provides real-time feedback.
This is the first clinical tool that helps surgeons to tailor the applied insufflation pressure to each patient and to actually adhere to the guide-lines of minimizing the applied insufflation pressure.
Automatic insufflation mode uses Endoscopic Oscillometry to find the optimal trade off between insufflation pressure and workspace volume leading to an optimized surgical workspace condition.
Reciprocal Insufflation
Patients benefit from improved respiratory conditions. The next-generation insufflator allows instantaneous control of the intra-abdominal pressure, adapting the intra-abdominal CO2 volume to match the tidal volumes that are generated by mechanical ventilation.
Reciprocal interaction between insufflation and ventilation improves the compliance of the respiratory system in both laparoscopy and thoracoscopy and reduces pressures needed for mechanical ventilation.
Pressure Stabilization
Surgeons benefit from a stable surgical environment. High speed measurements allow the next generation insufflator to respond quickly to pressure deviations. This technology accommodates for coughing and mechanical ventilation.
In addition to the improved surgical environment, this technology allows continuous smoke evacuation without the need of additional equipment.
