Health Benifits

A hollow cylinder inserted orally or nasally into the trachea to provide an unobstructed airway to convey gases and vapours to and from the lungs during anaesthesia, resuscitation, and other situations where the patient is not properly ventilated.

The device may: 1) be packaged with a connector that will attach to a breathing circuit or manual resuscitator; 2) have a distal inflatable cuff to seal against the tracheal wall; 3) be radiopaque; and 4) have a built-in pilot balloon for cuff pressure monitoring. It is typically made of plastic or rubber and is available in various diameters and lengths for adult and paediatric patients. This is a single-use device.

A sterile, flexible tube designed for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) to dilate a stenotic peripheral artery by controlled inflation of a distensible balloon(s) at its distal tip. It is available as: 1) an over-the-wire (OTW) type that has a double or triple lumen, one for the guidewire and one or two for single or double balloon inflation; and 2) a rapid exchange (RX) type with a single lumen.

It is available in various sizes for the dilatation of small, narrowed, or obstructed iliac, femoral, popliteal, ilio-femoral, infrapopliteal, renal and subclavian arteries. Some types may include microsurgical blades (atherotomes) to score the plaque. This is a single-use device.

A sterile hollow cylinder inserted orally or nasally into the trachea to provide an unobstructed airway to convey gases and vapours to and from the lungs during anaesthesia, resuscitation, and other situations where the patient is not properly ventilated, and which is coated with an antimicrobial agent (e.g., silver) to help prevent infection.

It may: 1) be packaged with a connector that will attach to a breathing circuit or manual resuscitator; 2) have a distal inflatable cuff to seal against the tracheal wall; 3) be radiopaque; and 4) have a built-in pilot balloon. It is available in various diameters and lengths for adult and paediatric patients. This is a single-use device.

A sterile, metallic device that is permanently implanted around the neck of an aneurysm (a balloon-like sac formed on a blood vessel) for occlusion, to prevent it from bleeding or bursting and to isolate it from the rest of the vessel.

The device is typically an alpha-shaped coil spring, with blades that open like jaws, that comes with a dedicated applier for application to the aneurysm. The device is available in a variety of sizes and its blades may be straight or curved. It is typically used to treat intracranial aneurysms; it may also be used to prevent bleeding from small blood vessels.
