THERMOFLATOR® 264320 20: An Essential Device for Laparoscopic Surgery
The THERMOFLATOR® 264320 20 by Karl Storz is an insufflation device dedicated to laparoscopic procedures, enabling the establishment and maintenance of stable pneumoperitoneum throughout the procedure. It operates with medical CO₂ gas and provides precise control over intra-abdominal pressure and insufflation flow rate. This device offers surgeons an optimal operative environment through fine management of insufflation, which is crucial for minimally invasive surgical procedures.
One of the major advantages of the THERMOFLATOR® is its adjustable flow rate, capable of reaching up to 30 liters per minute, allowing it to compensate for frequent gas losses in complex interventions. The instant heating of CO₂ helps reduce intra-abdominal cooling of the patient, thereby minimizing the risk of hypothermia and optimizing operative comfort.
The device is equipped with multiple safety features, including an integrated self-test that checks critical parameters each time it is powered on. Sensors continuously monitor intra-abdominal pressure and trigger an alert if preset thresholds are exceeded. In case of overpressure, an automatic system interrupts the gas supply and activates a relief valve to stabilize the pressure.
The THERMOFLATOR® 264320 20 is also designed to operate with high-pressure CO₂ cylinders or centralized gas supply systems, offering flexibility depending on the needs of the operating room. With an intuitive user interface and ergonomic controls, it allows for smooth and rapid handling, reducing setup time and facilitating adaptation to various surgical configurations.
The use of this device is strictly reserved for qualified healthcare professionals who have received the necessary training for its operation and clinical use. It must be used with accessories and consumables certified by Karl Storz, ensuring optimal compatibility and adherence to current medical standards.
