Additional Information for Colonic Insufflator
Colonic insufflators are medical devices used in the field of gastroenterology. They are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Colonic insufflators are specifically designed to introduce gas (usually carbon dioxide) into the colon during certain medical procedures. This gas helps to expand the colon, allowing for better visualization and access during procedures such as colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy.
The insufflator typically consists of a control unit, a gas source, and tubing. The control unit allows the user to regulate the flow and pressure of the gas being delivered. The gas source is usually a carbon dioxide cylinder or a gas generator. The tubing connects the control unit to the patient's colon.
During a procedure, the colonic insufflator is connected to a colonoscope or sigmoidoscope, and the gas is gently introduced into the colon. This helps to distend the colon, providing a clear view of the intestinal lining and facilitating the insertion and movement of the endoscope.
Colonic insufflators are essential tools in gastrointestinal procedures, as they improve visibility and patient comfort. They are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities that perform colonoscopies and sigmoidoscopies.
It's important to note that the use of colonic insufflators should be performed by trained medical professionals who are familiar with the equipment and the procedure being conducted.
