Endoscopic surgical gas circulation and insufflation system
The patent US12042177B2 describes a sophisticated system designed for conducting endoscopic surgical procedures within a surgical cavity. Central to this system is a primary gas circulation device that includes a primary pump for delivering pressurized gas and an insufflator for supplying insufflation gas. The system features a primary gas sealed access port, which is a single lumen structure that maintains a gaseous seal to stabilize pressure in the surgical cavity. Additionally, the system incorporates subordinate gas circulation devices, each with their own pumps and sealed access ports, allowing for enhanced control and management of gas flow. An insufflation sleeve is also included, which facilitates the delivery of insufflation gas while defining a passage for the primary gas sealed access port.
Further enhancements to the system include the ability to measure pressure within the surgical cavity, the use of filter cartridges for gas filtration, and a central processor that manages the operation of both primary and subordinate pumps. The design allows for both wired and wireless communication between the subordinate devices and the central processor, enabling a networked approach to gas circulation. The system also accommodates robotic surgical systems, enhancing its utility in advanced surgical settings. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive solution aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of endoscopic surgeries through innovative gas management technologies.
