AlphaSMART DuoLap 50 Insufflator – High-Performance Insufflation for Laparoscopy
Our AlphaSMART DuoLap 50 high-flow insufflator is designed for laparoscopic surgery. With high gas flow, precise pressure regulation, and integrated CO₂ gas heating, the system supports a variety of requirements in everyday clinical practice.
Insufflation in surgery – The foundation for expanding the surgical field
In laparoscopy, controlled insufflation is a fundamental prerequisite for structured procedures. The targeted delivery of medical CO₂ creates a pneumoperitoneum, which enables the establishment of a stable working space and thus the performance of the procedure.
Insufflators such as the AlphaSMART DuoLap 50 are central to generating and maintaining the pneumoperitoneum and adapting it to various applications.
Technology that makes the difference – For performance and control in the OR
Our AlphaSMART DuoLap 50 insufflator is designed for powerful and precise insufflation, and can therefore be adapted to suit various operating room conditions.
- High-flow performance: Flow rates of up to 50 l/min for rapid delivery of CO₂ to meet changing requirements
- CO₂ gas heating: Heats the gas to near body temperature via a heated tubing to reduce temperature differences
- Pressure and flow control: A combination of algorithms and pressure regulation ensures consistent insufflation conditions
- Various operating modes: Settings for standard, bariatric, and pediatric applications
- Passive smoke evacuation: Activated via foot switch to maintain a clear view of the surgical field
- Intuitive control interface: 7-inch touchscreen with a clearly structured user interface
In the field – AlphaSMART DuoLap 50 in Laparoscopy
The AlphaSMART DuoLap 50 high-flow insufflator is used in laparoscopic surgery wherever CO₂ insufflation is required to create a defined surgical field. It supports a variety of surgical applications and areas of use.
- Laparoscopic procedures: Use in standardized procedures in abdominal surgery
- Bariatric surgery: Accommodation of specific requirements for procedures involving increased intra-abdominal volume
- Pediatric surgery: Adaptation to the requirements of procedures in smaller body cavities
Advantages that matter – For patients, users, and the operating room
Benefits for the patient
- Greater patient comfort: CO₂ warmed to near body temperature via a heating tube can reduce hypothermia and postoperative discomfort.
- Adaptation to different patient situations: Settings can be tailored to the patient and help prevent unnecessary strain.
- Safety & protection: A uniformly controlled gas flow, based on a safe flow algorithm, maintains constant pressure and avoids pressure spikes.
- Gentle insufflation start: Automatic start with reduced flow during the first 30–60 seconds for controlled and patient-friendly initial insufflation.
Benefits for the user
- Safety & control: Uniform insufflation ensures predictable and easily controllable procedural conditions and a safe procedure.
- Rapid pressure build-up: Flow rates of up to 50 l/min enable rapid insufflation and stable conditions even with increased gas demand.
- Application-specific settings: Predefined modes (Standard, Pediatrics, Bariatric) allow for targeted adaptation to different requirements.
- Clear view: The passive smoke evacuation system, controlled by a foot switch, removes surgical smoke from the operating field and ensures clear visibility.
General Advantages
- Regulatory compliance: Enables use in the European market through MDR certification.
- Flexible gas supply: Supports operation with either a central gas supply or a CO₂ cylinder.
- Intuitive operation: Clear user guidance and a multilingual menu structure enable simple and efficient use in various surgical environments.
- Integrated safety mechanisms: A pressure relief valve, pressure monitoring, visual and audible warning signals, and continuous gas supply surveillance support safe procedures.
