We now have available a new tube management grip to complement our existing tube management programme.

Sliding in to a notch found on the Intersurgical tube clips, the grip allows for secure attachment of breathing systems to the patient's clothing or bedding in an optimal position to reduce patient trauma.

Our tube management programme comprises tube clips, management clip and grip, and tube supports.  They are designed to position our breathing systems efficiently and comfortably around the patient area whilst providing a safe and tidy environment. View the supporting video and information sheet which provides more information about this range.

We have now expanded our range of TrachSeal™ Closed Suction Systems to include saline ampoules (NaCl) sold in individual packets or as part of several combination products.

All of these combination products will feature one closed suction system packaged with an initial supply of ten saline ampoules (NaCl).

Available with 72-hour versions only.

The Intersurgical TrachSeal™ features an ultra clear, new softer sleeve. This allows the clinician greater feel when inserting the catheter with optimum visibility of blockage assessments.  Our suction control valve is responsive and allows for single handed control of the applied suction force. The positive locking mechanism is designed to prevent suction being accidentally applied.

Intersurgical offer two products to reduce the occurence of pressure ulcers on the ear.

We are pleased to announce Intersurgical Canada is now open for direct enquiries

For many years Intersurgical has been one of the leading suppliers of Anaesthesia, Critical Care and Respiratory products to the Canadian hospital market. Over this time we have had a successful partnership with Trudell Medical Marketing, who distributed the range on our behalf.  However, we are delighted to announce that as of the 1st November we are supplying the Canadian market directly from our new Intersurgical subsidiary premises in Burlington, Ontario.
 
Everyone at Intersurgical Canada is fully committed to enhancing the service and support to our valued customers. We are delighted to have this opportunity and will continue to provide the highest quality of products and service.

Each study is categorised depending on its clinical scenario and tagged with relevant key words allowing you to search for studies based on author, journal, setting, comparable airway device, year of publication and more.

New website feature makes it easier to find the products you need

Intersurgical offers the complete respiratory package for your hospital. To help you find the products you need, we've developed Your Route To Respiratory Care - a new website page dedicated to locating products relevant to the department you work in.

Using the map, simply find your department and click on any product image, or the key underneath, to view full product information and gain access to videos, supporting material and to make an enquiry.

You can find your route to respiratory care via the tab on our home page.

We have launched a landing page dedicated to the StarMed range of respiratory hoods for CPAP and NIV therapy and masks for CPAP therapy.

Within the site are sub pages detailing the products available for CPAP and NIV, clinical evidence, product videos, full range details and an enquiry facility.

Highlighting the benefits for both patient and care giver, the site is designed to be simple to use and packed with useful information on each StarMed product in the range, including information sheets to download.

We hope you find this mini site a useful tool in understanding how the StarMed range can result in improved therapy for patients.

The StarMed range is part of our complete patient interface range, which also includes FaceFit™ and CPAP masks.

Intersurgical provide a wide range of universal coaxial breathing systems to fit all anaesthetic machines and ventilators and are ideally suited for low flow anaesthesia for adults and children >5Kg.

UniFlow is a convenient, single limb tube-within-a-tube breathing system that provides warmer, humid inspiratory gases and the option of an integrated respiratory gases monitoring line. UniFlow incorporates a large 30mm diameter outer lumen minimising the resistance to flow of the expired gases so the patient will not experience unacceptable resistance during spontaneous breathing.

The UniFlow deluxe coaxial breathing system incorporates an APL valve, 2L reservoir bag and two different monitoring line lengths allowing the system to be used for anaesthesia induction, low flow anaesthesia and delivery of supplemental oxygen in recovery and transport.

The Silver Knight™ anti-microbial range of UniFlow coaxial breathing systems contain a silver-based ion additive to further enhance patient safety by helping to reduce the incidence of Hospital Acquired Infections^(1).

All UniFlow systems come with a leak tester to easily test the integrity of the inner lumen as recommended by the AAGBI^(2). Safety is assured as both the inner and outer lumens can be properly and independently tested for leaks.

The UniFlow range of ‘universal’ coaxial anaesthetic breathing systems has been designed to meet the demands of changing clinical practice and user demands. 

For further information visit the product range, Silver-Knight™ landing page or make an enquiry.
