VT Select Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) Resuscitators

We are pleased to announce the introduction of VT Select Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) Resuscitators, the latest addition to our BVM offering. This product has been designed with a focus on clinical precision, ease of use, and, most importantly, patient safety.

As demonstrated by previous studies¹, manual resuscitation can be highly variable from provider to provider. The VT Select helps to minimise the variability in treatment by using a timed refill valve at the back of the bag.

It is recommended by the American Heart Association² to deliver 10 breaths per minute (BPM) of 500-600ml in adult resuscitation. When activated, the valve restricts the refill of the bag to approximately 4 seconds, providing approximately 10 BPM to the patient, helping to eliminate the possibility of hyperventilation.

When the valve is activated, a one handed squeeze of the bag will deliver approximately 500-600ml to the patient. Alternatively, the valve can be switched to standard, removing the delayed refill and the BVM can be used as normal.

The VT Select is smaller than most adult bags at only 1200ml, which also helps to reduce the risk of hyperinflation or barotrauma.

Introducing the new improved Universal Stylet Bougie (USB™)

The Universal Stylet Bougie, or USB™, represents a significant advance in the design and development of tracheal tube introducers (bougies) and stylets and we are delighted to confirm we have made a number of additional improvements to the device to further optimise product performance.

The two malleable sections of the device were initially identified by a series of polka dots; in order to make it easier to identify the sections of the device that are malleable, we have replaced the polka dots with solid grey lines. The profile of the coudé tip has also been refined to make it easier to insert and remove the device from a tracheal tube and the length of the malleable section around the curve of the device has also been increased to make it easier to straighten when the intention is to use the USB in a similar way to a standard bougie. Finally, the original length markings, which were located at 12, 20 and 35cm from the tip (patient end), have now been updated to 12, 20 and 45cm so they align with the malleable sections of the device; they also provide a guide for the user of the length from the tip (patient end).

The USB continues to offer a number of key advantages over traditional bougies and stylets:

Hybrid bougie and stylet
Improved insertion and removal
Improved storage
Improved tracheal ring detection

'7 steps' in anaesthesia

The '7 steps' to help improve patient and environmental safety in anaesthesia summarises the patient safety features and environmental advantages of using an Intersurgical breathing system.

Integral monitoring lines – Intersurgical’s modular breathing systems include an integral gas monitoring line which helps to improve accuracy and reduce patient connections.
Silver Knight™ - Antimicrobial silver ions within our Silver Knight™ breathing systems help to reduce bacteria proliferation and minimise cross-contamination.
Tethered caps – All Intersurgical anaesthetic breathing systems have brightly coloured and tethered luer caps, which help reduce the risk of foreign body aspiration during ventilation.
Push and twist – Intersurgical’s unique Push and Twist feature ensures a secure, leak free fit every time.
Colour coded filters – Intersurgical’s filter range is colour coded for ease of identification and to ensure the correct filter/HME is used at the correct position within the breathing system, minimising any potential harm to the patient.
Intersurgical sodalime – The absorbency capacity of Spherasorb™ means that fewer kilos are used per hour of anaesthesia than many other absorbents and production waste is recycled back into usable soda lime, reducing the amount of waste.
Reduce your environmental impact - Intersurgical’s ClearLite™ face mask offers a 72% reduction in environmental impact compared to a traditional PVC mask.

DuoFlow™ bi-lumen breathing system range extension

We are pleased to announce an extension to our range of DuoFlow™ bi-lumen breathing systems with the introduction of 3m configurations.

The DuoFlow™ bi-lumen breathing system includes an inspiratory and expiratory gas pathway in a single 22mm limb system. The internally moulded inner septum creates a gas tight division and allows transfer of heat between the inspired and expired gases, optimising the warmth and humidity of the gas. The design means that exposure to the ambient air temperature is reduced and further minimises the cooling of gases, reducing condensate in the system.

The system is DEHP free and in addition the single limb design reduces material content and subsequent waste, which reduces the overall impact upon the environment.

i-view™ video laryngoscope

i-view™ video laryngoscope: Video laryngoscopy wherever and whenever you intubate.

i-view™ is a single use, fully disposable video laryngoscope, providing the option of video laryngoscopy in the ER, ICU, maternity or the pre-hospital environment.

By incorporating a Macintosh blade, i-view™ can be used for direct as well as video laryngoscopy and the technique for insertion is more familiar and instinctive than for devices with a hyper-angulated blade. Its ergonomic design ensures i-view™ is easy to use, and the integral LCD screen provides an optimal view in a variety of light conditions.

By combining all the advantages of a fully integrated video laryngoscope in a single use, disposable product, i-view™ provides a cost-effective solution for the healthcare professional.

We also have a dedicated Universal Video Laryngoscopy (UVL) website page where you can find out more about the potential benefits provided by the more widespread adoption of video laryngoscopy and information about our i-view™ video laryngoscope – explore the page or contact us for further information.
