Infection control product range from Intersurgical

Our range of respiratory products offers a number of options which may be used to help reduce the risk of cross

contamination between patients and health care workers in the clinical environment.

	i-view^TM video laryngoscope
	The i-view^TM is a single-use disposable video laryngoscope with no reusable components and is therefore ideal for use where there are concerns regarding infection control. Furthermore, i-view provides the option of a single-use, disposable video laryngoscope, eliminating the need for reprocessing. Watch the video, view the product range or landing page or make an enquiry to find out more.


	TrachSeal^TM closed suction systems
	The use of a closed suction system for infection control maintains a closed breathing system and reduces contamination when clearing the lungs of secretions, whilst maintaining ventilation and minimising contamination. We offer a range of 24- and 72-hour usage depending on patient requirements, and two length options to allow attachment to either endotracheal or tracheostomy tubes. Watch the video, view the product range or make an enquiry to find out more.


	High efficiency breathing filters and HMEFs
	The only way that a clinician can determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the performance of a breathing filter and HMEF is via independent microbiological test protocols and results. All our filters are tested at specialist microbiology laboratory facilities against clinically relevant bacterial and viral challenge. Our range of HMEFs combine high filtration efficiency with optimal humidification to provide trusted and proven performance to improve infection control. Visit our filtration and humidification landing page, product range, or our frequently asked questions document or make an enquiry to find out more.


	StarMed Respiratory Hoods
	The StarMed range of respiratory hoods has been designed for both non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and CPAP therapy providing an alternative patient interface to traditional masks. The NIV hoods create a closed environment that prevents dispersion from leaks during treatment, improving infection control and the protection of the clinician. Visit our StarMed landing page, product range or make an enquiry to find out more.


	FiltaMask^TM medium concentration oxygen mask
	The FiltaMask™ combines an oxygen delivery system with a filter media covering the exhalation ports. FiltaMask is intended for use on patients with respiratory infections who may be a source of aerosolised infectious pathogens and who also require supplementary oxygen. The FiltaMask is designed to reduce the risk to paramedics, hospital staff and visitors. Visit our product page or make an enquiry to find out more.


	Self sealing in-line T-piece
	The Cirrus2 nebuliser is designed to deliver drugs for tracheobronchial deposition. It is available with a self-sealing T-piece, which enables the nebuliser to be attached (or detached) from the ventilator breathing system without interfering with patient ventilation or inadvertently activating any alarms. If an HMEF is being used and it is essential this stays in place during nebulisation the T-Piece should be positioned between the HMEF and the patient interface, and every effort should be made to minimise system dead space and monitor ventilation. Monitor the HMEF throughout use and replace if increased resistance or contamination occurs. Watch the video, view the product or make an enquiry to find out more.

	Silver-Knight^TM anti-microbial breathing systems
	Silver-Knight™ is a range of breathing systems with an anti-microbial additive that inhibits bacterial growth and reduces the risk of cross-infection. It functions as a safe, quick and effective catalyst to deactivate pathogenic bacteria and prevent their proliferation. This technology allows the silver ions to be released in small quantities over time to reduce microbial growth within, and on, the surface of the breathing systems helping to reduce touch contamination and potential cross contamination between patients. Visit the supporting landing page, watch the product video, visit the product range or make an enquiry to find out more.

	Oral Care
	Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) causes prolonged intubation and a prolonged stay in intensive care units (ICU) with the associated costs. It is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in critically unwell patients. A combination of oral care treatments (brushing and suctioning) in a proper oral care protocol means care providers can efficiently prevent oropharyngeal bacterial biofilm build-up. This in turn leads to a reduction of VAP and Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) and greatly reduces associated treatment costs.
