The CaStar R hood is a comfortable, versatile and lightweight patient interface for NIV. It is designed to offer an efficient and comfortable alternative to traditional methods of non-invasive respiratory support, it is well tolerated for extended periods and can reduce the risks associated with both endotracheal intubation and face mask use.
Generally used on the mechanical ventilator for delivering NImV (non-invasive mechanical ventilation), the CaStar R is also a versatile interface that can be used to provide optimal CPAP therapy via a constant flow generator and a mechanical PEEP valve.
Beside the clinical advantages of the respiratory hoods for treating respiratory diseases, in light of the COVID-19 global pandemic the StarMed interface has been identified as an optimal tool for reducing the risk of cross infection. Owing to the semi-closed environment design and the virtually leak-free seal, all expired gas from the patient is evacuated from the internal volume through the expiratory limb of the hood, which can be fitted with a breathing filter.
Intersurgical proposes a number of accessories to enhance treatment flexibility with the CaStar R NIV hood. Some examples below, check out the NIV hoods accessory page for more details.
