(877) 509-3947
Pricing: IFS unit, $29,500; access ports, $97 to $117, depending on diameter
and length; tri-lumen tube set, $110
FYI: SurgiQuest says its AirSeal System is more than a trocar, more than an
insufflator, more than a filter: It's an integrated abdominal cavity stability system that combines and improves on all 3 for reduced procedure times. An
invisible, horizontal air barrier inside the access port (available in 5mm, 8mm
or 12mm diameters) provides valve-free access for smudge-free scope insertion and intact specimen removal. The IFS (Intelligent Flow System) unit
ensures a stable pneumoperitoneum, even during constant suction. The trilumen tube set continuously evacuates smoke while filtering and recirculating
CO2.
