The Turbine-based Insufflator Safety and Feasibility Study

The turbine-based insufflator for minimal access surgery provides a new technological basis for minimal invasive surgery insufflation. Turbine technology permits highly accurate pressure control, an intra-abdominal volume that is dynamically adapted to ventilation, and oscillometric measurements of abdominal compliance. This first-in-human study aims to evaluate technologic feasibility in terms of pressure stability performance and the safety of the device.
