Product description

Non-invasive ventilation masks

Comfortable and effective non-invasive ventilation
Dräger NovaStar® and ClassicStar® NIV full-face masks are designed for non-invasive ventilation therapy. These masks cover nose and mouth, ensuring effective NIV therapy even in case of mouth breathing. Both NIV full-face masks can be individually shaped and adapted to the patient’s face providing maximum comfort and effective seal. The portfolio includes the NovaStar® and ClassicStar® NIV full-face masks with SE used with Dräger ventilators. The NovaStar® NIV full-face mask with AAV completes the portfolio.

Anaesthesia masks

Comfortable and easy to use – Dräger disposable anaesthesia masks
Patient comfort and ease of use were the top priorities when developing the Dräger LiteStar® and ComfortStar® anaesthesia face masks. Patient comfort is supported by teardrop or round-shaped masks which provides an anatomical fit with effective seal.
Researches show that added aromas can help in minimising the potential side effect, PONV of general anaesthesia (Post Operative Nausea and Vomitting). ComfortStar® scented anaesthesia face masks have the same excellent benefits of the ComfortStar® standard masks, but in addition have added aromas.
The anaesthesia mask portfolio consist of the LiteStar® masks in sizes 1-6 for paediatric and adult applications and the ComfortStar standard and scented masks. The standard version is available in sizes 0-6 for neonate, paediatric and adult applications. The scented versions are available with strawberry or bubble gum scents in sizes 1-4, and mint scent in sizes 3-6. The appropriate colour scheme provides optical stimulation and is intended to reduce pre-operative anxiety in patients.

Breathing system filters/HMEs

The utilisation of heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs) and breathing system filters in the OR, the ICU as well as other settings is an approach to address concerns commonly associated with mechanical ventilation: The one is proper humidification of inspired air; the other is cross-infection.
Product benefits:
– For different tidal volumes and/or different deadspace needs all products are available in different sizes
– Equipped with a Luer Lock connector for gas sampling
– Sampling port in convenient 45° angle
– With a tethered luer cap in order to prevent any loose parts from falling into the breathing system
– Transparent housing of the products allows for visual inspection at any time while in use
– Fast and easily identified due their colour coding and clear labeling
– Standardised connectors provide proper and easy connection with other components of the ventilation circuit

Breathing circuits

Safe and simple – Dräger disposable breathing circuits
Dräger disposable breathing circuits offer correct fit and reliable function and are designed for use with existing systems. The PVC-free materials used ensure that no hazardous softening agents can enter the circuit. Latex-free breathing bags are also available. Single-use design effectively eliminates the risk of cross contamination, reducing the overall incidence of nosocomial infections. Disposability saves prep time and reduces workloads, allowing caregivers more time with their patients.
