Respiratory devices set to hit the market

Published: 09 February, 2012

Rescue and emergency equipment supplier SP Services (UK) introduces the O-Two CPAP with Adult Mask and Harness in its 2012 catalogue.

The CPAP system is a disposable respiratory aid device intended for use in the hospital and ambulance environments to provide non-invasive ventilation to the patient in respiratory distress.

When connected to a regulated oxygen therapy gas supply and attached to the patient via the face mask, the device provides a constant positive airway pressure in the patient’s lungs throughout the respiratory cycle. This is achieved by selecting flow rates on the therapy flow control to create the desired rise in the baseline level.

Single-Use "Open CPAP" Delivery System provides incredibly accurate CPAP delivery for such a compact device and minimises pressure drop on inspiration and the peak pressure on expiration, thus producing a more uniform CPAP pressure throughout the respiratory cycle.

This CPAP system from O-Two was recently awarded the 2011 EMS World Innovation Award.
