Adult endoscopy CO2 insufflator FLOW-THERME

pediatricbariatricwith gas preheating

Separate gas heating modul, adaptable to any cold-gas insufflator. In the course of an operative endoscopy a few hundert liters of CO²-gas can be insufflated. Because of the size of the peritoneal surface and the resulting evaporative-cooling it results in cooling of the abdominal cavity (temperature in the abdominal cavity to <32° C). This can cause a peritoneal catarrh which leads in turn to post-operative pain of the diaphragm and the shoulder. After 3 years of studies it could be shown that by using gas heated up to body temperature, the postoperative use of analgesics was significantly reduced. The CO²-gas is heated up by the WISAP FLOW THERME.
