Introduction • Guide to the Catalogue

A guide to our tube types

We manufacture a variety of tubes to suit different applications

and clinical requirements:

FlextubeM – for lexibility

Most of our breathing systems, plus our Flexible range of

catheter mounts are made from Intersurgical Flextube. The tube
is lexible and has a unique clip feature ensuring an airtight it
when used with our connectors with a recess.

Smoothbore – for improved low characteristics

We have a range of breathing systems and catheter mounts

made from Smoothbore tubing, a non–PVC Eco option is also
available providing a lower environmental impact. The clear

crush resistant tubing offers improved ventilatory support with:

•
Improved low characteristics
• Lower tubing compliance
• Lower system volume

CompactM and SupersetM – extendable tube

Compact breathing systems and Superset catheter mounts

are made using extendable tubing. This allows the tube
length to be changed to suit the clinical situtation and for the
tube position to be set as required, with multiple positioning

possibilities ideal for head and neck surgery. The Compact
systems are supplied in a compressed form which increases

the number of systems per box, for more cost effective storage
and disposal. This means that there can be signiicant space
savings compared with other breathing systems.

Anti-microbial breathing systems – reduce risks

In the continued ight against Hospital Acquired Infections,

Intersurgical has developed the Silver KnightM range of
products with an anti-microbial additive to further enhance
patient safety. This anti-microbial, silver-based ion additive

has been introduced to a range of breathing systems for both
anaesthesia and intensive care use. Testing to ISO Standard

22196 shows a reduction in bacterial viable
count by 99.9% against controls.
