?:definition
  • Devices designed to reduce pressure on a bariatric patient\'s abdomen created by his/her own anterior abdominal wall fat weight during surgical procedures. These units typically consist of a set (e.g., four) of suction cups that are attached to a frame located above the patient\'s abdomen and a vacuum pump that is connected through tubes to each cup to provide the necessary suction. Intraoperative abdominal wall suction cup units are intended to facilitate patient breathing and oxygenation during surgical procedures (e.g., cardiac catheterization, pacemaker implantation) that may be performed without mechanical ventilation.
