Stop Pressure Ulcer Day - Tuesday, November 15

We are proud to support the European Pressure Ulcer Panel (EPUAP) by raising awareness of pressure ulcers.

A pressure ulcer is a localised injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear. A number of contributing or confounding factors are also associated with pressure ulcers; the significance of these factors is yet to be elucidated¹.

Intersurgical provides two products that can help reduce the occurrence of pressure ulcers on the ear: the Intersurgical EcoLite™ adult oxygen mask and nasal cannulae with ear guards.

The Intersurgical EcoLite™ adult oxygen mask features an extra chin section incorporating two integral seals, ensuring that the mask fits a wide range of face shapes. The mask's retaining elastic can be fitted either above or below the ears depending on the patient's face shape. In the preferred below ear position, it eliminates the discomfort and longer-term trauma created by elastic sitting on top of the patient's ears.

Our nasal cannulae with ear guards is designed to prevent trauma to the patient's ears thanks to the soft silicone foam cushions, which are easily adjusted to provide a secure fit.

Right Angled Water Trap

We have introduced the right-angled water trap, a new variant of our current range.

The right-angled water trap is now available in both medium volume 70ml and high volume 125ml fluid collection capacity. The water trap features a 90º attachment, 22OD to 22ID, allowing easy connection directly to a ventilator or anaesthetic machine. The self-seal arrangement and fluid collection jar are the same components used in 1912030 Large Self-Sealing Water Trap.

As with all of our water traps the self-sealing facility allows the fluid to be emptied without interrupting flow.

Solus® Satin

Intersurgical is pleased to announce the launch of an additional range of laryngeal mask airways, Solus^® Satin. This new range is available in three adult sizes, which have a softer airway tube than our Standard Solus^® range. These have been developed to meet the requirements of those who have a preference for a softer airway tube option.

Features and Benefits:
- Solus^® Satin is our range of single use laryngeal mask airways featuring a softer airway tube providing flexibility. For use in anesthesia and emergency medicine.
- The cuff and back plate remain the same as the Standard, Flexible and MRI Solus^® ranges.
- Available in three adult sizes: 3, 4, 5. (The pediatric Standard Solus already has a soft airway tube and therefore there are no current plans to offer a Satin version.)

The Solus^® Satin differentiates Intersurgical from the competition by providing a new option that meets the requirements of customers who have a preference for a softer airway tube option.

Flo-Guard breathing filter

The new Flo-Guard is now the lowest resistance filter we have in our range.

It is designed to be used at the machine-end of a breathing system to protect the patient and machine against cross contamination, while maintaining a low resistance across a wide range of flow rates..

Features and Benefits:
• Electrostatic filter media provides an excellent filtration efficiency of 99.99% BFE and 99.95% VFE that protects against cross infection.
• Contains a large surface area to reduce resistance to flow and the effort of breathing for the patient at high flows.
• The Flo-Guard contains clear housing for good visibility and easy inspection of possible secretion build up.
• Conical shape streamlines airflow acting as a silencer device, thereby reducing noise.

The Flo-Guard differentiates Intersurgical® significantly from other filter manufacturers because it maintains a low resistance to flow across a wide range of flow rates, while providing a superior filtration performance.
