Flexicare’s Dual Heated Wire Breathing Systems with VentiMyst technology deliver absolute humidity and manages excess rain-out.
VentiMyst Advanced Active Humidification delivers absolute humidity and manages excess rain-out1.
Excessive condensation within a breathing system can cause accidental drainage of rainout into patient’s airway, resulting in Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia (VAP).
With rain-out pooling.
Reduced build-up of rain-out.
Closed system and reduction in circuit breaks lowers the risk of contamination reaching the patient, clinician or ventilator.
Minimises need to open or break the circuit to remove excess rain-out, therefore decreasing the risk of Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia.2
Less risk of increased resistance to gas flow from fluid build-up in the expiratory limb or filter.3
Heated wires are embedded in a reinforced spiral construction throughout the length of the smoothbore inspiratory limb, providing improved heat distribution in the wall of the circuit.
