A laparoscopic insufflator is a medical device used during minimally invasive surgeries to inflate the abdominal cavity with gas, typically carbon dioxide. This creates a clear workspace (pneumoperitoneum) for surgeons to perform procedures like laparoscopy, allowing better visibility and access through laparoscopic ports.
These devices are regulated based on their intended use and risk level, often requiring compliance with safety standards for electrical components and gas delivery systems. They are commonly supplied as standalone units or integrated into surgical suites, with variations in pressure control and leakage compensation features.
