Endoscopic CO₂ Insufflator

Controlled CO₂ Insufflation for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

The Endoscopic CO₂ Insufflator delivers carbon dioxide into the gastrointestinal tract during diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures. Gas insufflation expands the intestinal lumen, allowing the physician to examine mucosal surfaces and anatomical structures with improved visibility.

Unlike room air, carbon dioxide is rapidly absorbed through the intestinal wall and eliminated through respiration. This helps reduce gas retention, abdominal bloating and discomfort following endoscopic examinations.

Improved Patient Comfort During Endoscopy

According to the manufacturer’s information, CO₂ is absorbed from the intestine approximately 150 times faster than room air. Its rapid absorption helps minimize abdominal distension and discomfort associated with retained gas, particularly during prolonged endoscopic procedures.

Controlled Gas Delivery

The insufflator is designed to regulate carbon dioxide delivery during examination and treatment. Controlled insufflation helps maintain the intestinal lumen in an expanded state, allowing the physician to inspect anatomical structures and perform endoscopic manipulations.

Connection to Endoscopes from Different Manufacturers

The device can be connected to endoscopes from several established manufacturers, including Brightfield, Olympus, Pentax and Fujinon. Appropriate adapters allow the insufflator to be incorporated into different endoscopy equipment configurations.

Clinical Applications

• Gastroscopy: CO₂ insufflation during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
• Colonoscopy: Intestinal lumen expansion during diagnostic and therapeutic examinations.
• Therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy: Controlled gas delivery during endoscopic interventions.

The Endoscopic CO₂ Insufflator is intended for healthcare facilities performing gastrointestinal endoscopic examinations and treatments.
