Intersurgical is pleased to announce the launch of our new MultiOx™ Adjustable Venturi Valve.

The MultiOx™ Adjustable Venturi Valve has been designed to replace the MK 1 adjustable venturi range.

Features and Benefits:

• The MultiOx adjustable venturi valve offers the user seven oxygen concentrations.
• A large body diameter provides space for clear, widely-spaced calibration and incorporates a ‘pull twist’ action preventing accidental adjustment.
• The one piece design eliminates the need to use more than one valve for all concentrations and contains no separate pieces that may get lost or mislaid.
• A flow in L/min is printed next to each concentration indicating the optimum flow meter setting.
• Both adult and pediatric mask kits are supplied with our PVC free, Eco aerosol masks.

The MultiOx adjustable venturi valve differentiates Intersurgical from the competition by providing a simple to use venturi valve, which contains seven oxygen concentrations in a one-piece design.

We are supporting World Stop Pressure Ulcer Day on Thursday November 17.

Did you know?

• 1/3 of all reported pressure ulcers are device related.¹
• 35% of reported incidence of medical device related pressure ulcers are related to the ears.²
• The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (USA) recommends ear protectors on all nasal cannula.³

Intersurgical’s nasal cannula with ear guards includes soft silicone foam cushions, which are easily adjusted and securely fitted to prevent trauma to the patient’s ears. Visit the product page for further information.

We would like to wish all of our customers a Happy 4th of July, have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

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.

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.

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.

Intersurgical is pleased to announce the expansion of our airway accessories range with the launch of our new InterGuide and InterForm.

InterGuide is a flexible tracheal tube introducer commonly known as a “bougie”. It allows location of the trachea and may assist with subsequent placement of the endotracheal tube in difficult airway situations.

Features and Benefits:
• Available in 3 sizes: 6FR, 10FR and 15FR.
• Bold green color allows easy visualization of the product during use.
• An atraumatic coudé tip reduces the potential for patient trauma.
• Smooth low-friction surface allows for easy insertion and subsequent tube placement.
• Flexible material allows the user to form the InterGuide into the desired curve.
• Ideal for use in difficult airway cases or where direct laryngoscopy is not possible.

InterForm is a malleable intubating stylet, allowing the user to form the most suitable shape to ease insertion and give more control of the airway device. It is inserted into the endotracheal tube prior to inserting the tube into the patient and in normal use will not come into direct patient contact.
 
Features and Benefits:
• Available in three sizes: 6FR, 10FR, 14FR.
• Bold green color allows easy visualization of the product during use.
• Low-friction surface allows for easy insertion and removal of stylet.
• An aluminum core allows the user to easily form suitable shapes.

The InterGuide and InterForm ranges have been designed to complement endotracheal tubes. Both product ranges are single use, latex free and supplied sterile in easy-to-open individual packs.
