Insufflators are sophisticated pieces of equipment that automatically pump the selected gas through a regulator and into the operating space at predetermined flow rates. The standard insufflators constantly monitors the intra abdominal pressure, halts the flow of gas when a certain pressure is reached, and restarts the flow if the pressure is reduced for any reason. Most current units can deliver up to a maximum 20 L per minute. These are used to apply an extremely fine powder to the nose, throat, ears, or other body cavities, or topically for wounds.
