The tube is flexible and has a unique clip feature ensuring an airtight fit when used with our connectors with a recess.Smoothbore – for improved flow characteristicsWe 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 flow characteristics• Lower tubing compliance• Lower system volumeCompact™ and Superset™ – extendable tubeCompact breathing systems and Superset catheter mounts are made using extendable tubing. This allows the tube length to be changed to suit the clinical situation 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 shipping storage and disposal. This means that there can be significant space savings compared with other breathing systems.Push and TwistAll of our tapers and connections are manufactured to meet the relevant BS, ISO and EN Standards ensuring a secure gas tight fit when using a simple push and twist action.Anti-microbial breathing systems – reduce risksIn the continued fight against Hospital Acquired Infections, Intersurgical has developed the Silver Knight™ 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.
