Abstract
A device is provided for controlling flow and pressure of a gas for insufflating the abdomen during laparoscopic surgery. Compressed gas from a tank passes through the device and is stepped down through multiple stages to a pressure under 25 psi. The resultant average pressure is then reduced to a desired pressure by passing the gas through a solenoid valve and manifold in a pulsating manner. Pressure and flow are constantly monitored with signals being sent to a microprocessor which adjusts the pulse width of the gas supply to compensate for any changes in pressure.
