AN INSUFFLATOR FOR EXPOSING STRUCTURES WITHIN AN INTERNAL BODY CAVITY

An insufflator for exposing stmctures within an internal cavity forming a coufined volume within an animai or human body, the apparatus including: an input conduit for ex­ changing gas with the coufined volume; a gas insufflator for in­ sufflation of gas into the coufined volume through the input con­ duit, wherein the gas insufflator is coufigured to deliver an insuf­ flator pressure to the confined volume, wherein the gas insuffla­ tor is coufigured to (super)impose at least one pressure or flow oscillation to obtain a forced oscillating pressure or flow deliv­ ered to the confined volume, the forced oscillating pressure or flow having at least one component with a frequency and an am­ plitude; a monitoring unit for monitoring a response ofthe inter­ nal cavity to the forced oscillating pressure or flow for determin­ ing one or more physical properties of the internal cavity; and an adapter unit for adjusting the insufflation pressure based on the determined one or more physical properties of the internal cavity.
