The AirSeal® Optical Obturator and Cannula System is composed of a sterile sin-
gle patient use instrument consisting of an obturator (1) and a cannula (2) (see
Fig. 6-1, Fig. 6-2, and Fig. 6-3). The obturator may be used with or without visual-
ization for primary and secondary insertions.
If the Optical cannula is being used for primary entry, use of a laparoscope to pro-
vide visualization to enhance safe abdominal entry is advised.
1. Use sterile techniques to remove the instrument from the package.
2. The obturator (1) and the cannula (2) (see Fig. 6-1, Fig. 6-2, and Fig. 6-3) are
packaged together.
3. When using optical obturator
• Connect an appropiate 0° endoscope to the light supply and monitor (see
manufacturer's instructions).
• Insert the endoscope into the opening at the proximal end of the obturator
until it reaches the distal tip of the obturator. Secure the endoscope in the
obturator using the scope lock.
