“When using the Insuflow® device during laparoscopic bariatric surgery, patients’ maintain body temperature throughout surgery.  I have also observed less post-operative pain and reduced levels of narcotics.  Because patients are in less pain we have reduced their recovery time and overall hospital stay.”
