AbCan™ pre-filled disposable carbon dioxide absorber

We are pleased to introduce the AbCan™ as part of our extensive absorbents range.

The AbCan™ is an easy to use disposable absorber that has been developed specifically for clinical use during anaesthesia to absorb carbon dioxide within an anaesthetic breathing system. It also offers a fast and easy exchange, an efficient CO2 absorption, an air-tight seal for storage, and no dust emission.

It is supplied with Spherasorb our unique medical grade CO₂ absorbent designed specifically for clinical use, Spherasorb has a long history of use within anaesthesia and meets all the requirements of the United States and British Pharmacopoeias. Spherasorb’s chemical formulation has been developed specifically to address the potential problems of use within the medical environment, while maintaining the highest possible CO₂ capacity.

The AbCan is compatible only with the Getinge® (formerly Maquet®) Anaesthesia Delivery Systems, Flow-i™ C20, C30, C40, Flow-c™ and Flow-e™.

It is essential that the user follows both the instructions for use of the Getinge® Flow-i™, Flow-c™ and Flow-e™ Anaesthesia Delivery Systems and also the instructions for use supplied with each box of Intersurgical AbCan absorbers.

nFlow™ CosyFit™ infant nasal CPAP range

We are pleased to introduce our new CosyFit™ bonnets and breathing systems to our existing nFlow™ infant nasal CPAP range.

The Intersurgical nFlow system offers a complete care solution for infant CPAP with established ‘gas flip’ technology, providing a low ‘work of breathing’ option as an alternative to ventilator CPAP. The nFlow system is supplied assembled with generator, heated wire limb and 10mm adjustable Superset style exhaust tube for efficient gas removal.

The new nFlow™ CosyFit bonnet makes attaching to the generator simple and precise and helps create a secure yet gentle fit for even the most sensitive patients. The new bonnet tie now has sealed edges to improve fabric stability and strength and we have changed the colour from white to grey to more easily distinguish between the new white nFlow™ CosyFit ties.

We’ve made ordering easy. To make a complete system you can choose one product from breathing systems (group A) and bonnets (group B), and choose a patient interface from nasal masks (group C) and/or nasal prongs (group D) to make your system. Our patient interfaces (masks and prongs) and CosyFit bonnets are supplied separately, so can be ordered separately as needed, plus it avoids unnecessary waste.

Our original nFlow™ range will remain available alongside the new nFlow™ CosyFit range.

Visit our website product page or our landing page for more information about the nFlow™ range or m ake an enquiry.

Universal Stylet Bougie (USB™)

Introducing the USB - a hybrid stylet and bougie.

The unique design of the USB incorporates two metal inserts either side a more flexible middle section. The USB can easily be manipulated to a variety of angles when used as a stylet, yet has the flexibility when used as a bougie to provide a significantly enhanced level of tracheal ring feedback. In addition, the hexagonal shape provides less contact with the inner surface of the tracheal tube, providing particularly easy insertion and removal.

The USB offers a number of key advantages over traditional bougies and stylets:

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

Visit our dedicated website landing page to find out more or make an enquiry.

The Universal Stylet Bougie, or USB, represents a significant advance in the design and development of tracheal introducers (bougies) and stylets.

The LiteScope™ one-piece direct laryngoscope

We are pleased to announce the launch of the LiteScope™ direct laryngoscope, the latest addition to our range of airway management devices and accessories.

LiteScope is a new, one adult size, single use and fully disposable laryngoscope, offering a quick and easy-to-use solution for intubation while maximising patient safety.

Unlike a standard laryngoscope, the innovative one-piece design of LiteScope eliminates the need to connect a separate blade and handle, thus saving valuable time in an emergency.

LiteScope is ideal for use in:

pre-hospital
emergency medicine
resuscitation
anaesthesia
intensive care

As a single use, fully disposable laryngoscope, LiteScope eliminates the risks associated with the reprocessing of reusable devices, and therefore provides an ideal solution where there is a concern regarding infection control and also avoids any reprocessing costs.

For further information on LiteScope, or any of our other Airway Management devices, including the innovative i-gel® supraglottic airway, i-view™ video laryngoscope and Guedel airways, please contact us.

The Intersurgical EcoLite™ range

Watch our new video highlighting how the Intersurgical EcoLite™ mask has the potential to reduce the amount of clinical waste generated.

The Intersurgical EcoLite™ range has many benefits compared to PVC alternatives. One of these is the potential to reduce the amount of clinical weight generated, which could help healthcare providers achieve their own environmental goals and objectives.

To explain, we have produced a short video which can be viewed on our dedicated Sustainability page or directly via YouTube.

i-Pro™ medical mask and i-Pro™ Vision visor

Introducing our new Personal Respiratory Protective range.

Over the course of the pandemic, the need for personal protection as solutions for infection control has significantly increased to ensure the safety of both patients and healthcare workers. In response, we have developed two new products forming part of our new Personal Protective range, which includes the i-Pro™ medical mask and the i-Pro™ Vision protective visor.

i-Pro ™ medical mask
The new i-Pro™ mask is designed with suitability for clinicians working within the clinical environment in mind. Traditional personal protective masks were originally designed to be used in the industrial environment and are therefore not always suited for the population of healthcare workers, this has resulted in a number of reported issues. Using our breathing system filter media, with proven bacterial and viral efficiency in the clinical environment, and a soft, flexible TPE seal, featured in our range of respiratory products, the i-Pro™ mask combines a high level protection with a comfortable and effective fit.

i-Pro ™ Vision protective visor
The i-Pro™ Vision protective visor has fully re-useable headwear providing an over-head cradle with three point adjustment and multiple comfort features, designed for use in the clinical setting. The anti-fog visor provides optimum visibility, with a full range of movement and is easily replaced providing a more environmentally friendly solution to protective wear. The visor is easily replaceable to reduce unnecessary waste and provides a more environmentally friendly solution to protective wear.

The introduction of the i-Pro ™ medical mask and i-Pro™ Vision is an exciting step for Intersurgical into personal protection, designed specifically for clinical personnel.

Please visit the product pages or the dedicated website page for further details.

New addition to our HME range

We are delighted to introduce the latest addition to our HME range – InterTherm™ T HME.

The Inter-Therm T™ is a heat and moisture exchanger (HME) designed for use with spontaneously breathing patients in order to reduce loss of heat and moisture during respiration, ideal for patients and clinicians caring for patients living with a tracheostomy. Small and lightweight, the new InterTherm™ T features a unique white corrugated paper HME design to provide the perfect combination between humidification output and low resistance to flow.
