A clear vision for the future
ClearLite™ is a range of single-use anesthetic face masks which includes seven sizes to meet the clinical needs of most patient types and sizes. The range is available in sizes 0 neonate to size 6 extra-large adult.
Due to the enhanced anatomical design, the ClearLite™ mask offers superior seal performance with minimum pressure, reducing the risk of unnecessary discomfort or potential trauma. The superior seal will also assist the clinician in providing optimum manual ventilation of the patient in both the anesthetic and emergency situation.
ClearLite™ is non-PVC and phthalate-free which significantly minimizes the impact upon the environment.

Comparing the environmental impact of products
The We have used SimaPro 8 Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software to assess the environmental aspects of our products following the ISO standards 14040:2006 and 14044:2006. By analyzing the materials, packaging, energy used in manufacturing and disposal methods, this software enables us to quantify the environmental impact of our products, providing a number in units of Eco millipoints, which allows for all impact categories to be provided in a single value, including carbon emissions.
The example provided below illustrates the reduction of environmental impact between a traditional PVC anesthetic face mask and the ClearLite™ anesthetic face mask.
Products with lower Eco millipoints are more environmentally friendly, the ClearLite™ shows a 72% reduction in environmental impact.1

Features and benefits
- Lightweight: Provides enhanced grip and comfort in use for the clinician.
- Anatomical shape: Provides a precise fit for different face shapes and sizes. Minimum pressure is required to achieve an effective seal, reducing the risk of inadvertent trauma and nerve damage.
- Crystal clear body: Provides excellent visibility for confirmation that the patient is well perfused.
- Reduced mask volume: Reduces potential rebreathing and risks associated with elevated levels of end tidal CO₂.
- Safe and secure connection: This is achieved between the mask and the breathing system in use. The ISO 22mm tapered connection complies with ISO 5356.
- Flexible non-inflating cuff: Provides a comfortable and effective airtight seal.
- Color-coding: The comfortable, flexible seal is color coded to allow quick and easy identification of the correct sized mask.
- Lower environmental impact: Non-PVC and phthalate-free.
