Aspects of the present disclosure include a medical insufflation device for use on a patient body. The device includes a chamber, an ozone generator, an instrument, and a controller. The chamber is configured to receive a medical gas at least including oxygen. The ozone generator is in communication with the medical gas and configured to generate an ozonated medical gas by converting at least a portion of the oxygen in the medical gas into ozone. The instrument is configured to be introduced into the patient body. Further, the instrument is also configured to receive the ozonated medical gas from the chamber and convey the ozonated medical gas into the patient body. The controller is configured to control the device such that the ozonated medical gas conveyed to the patient body by the instrument is at a targeted amount of ozone.
