Neonatal Ventilation Accessories

The majority of all neonatal deaths (75%) occur during the first week of life.¹ This sobering reality drives us to develop gentle and efficient solutions for improving acute care in neonatal intensive care units. Together with you, our goal is to lower morbidity and mortality rates while reducing stress for newborns and clinical staff. We understand that “small” doesn’t mean less important. And that’s why we give our accessories and consumables the highest level of attention, as they are an essential part of protecting your smallest patients.

VentStar Heated (N) for Resuscitation

Helping to prevent and treat neonatal hypothermia is a global challenge. As Your Specialist in Acute Care, we developed the VentStar heated breathing system to enable infant patients breathe warm, humidified air, understanding that conditioned breathing reduces the risk of hypothermia and improves normothermia rates.² Suitable for both preterm and term infants, our system supports respiratory needs, even during short-term resuscitation.

Seattle PAP and Seattle PAP plus: Bubble CPAP System

Helping infants with respiratory distress breathe easier.³
The Seattle Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) system is an innovation which uses the proven advantages of Bubble CPAP therapy, such as oscillatory effects similar to high frequency ventilation^{1, 2} combined with a unique design.
