Easy Fit with Good Seal

The soft, pliable mask moulds easily to the patient’s face, with a feathered-edge rim provides maximum comfort.

Independently Tested

Dual Mask has been proven to be the most efficient in sampling end tidal CO₂ in an independent comparative study in a simulated patient.

Microstream Compatibility

Dual products with a microstream type luer connector filter are compatible with capnography monitors and multiparameter monitors equipped with Microstream technology.

Comfort and Security

Attached to the swivel connector, the oxygen tubing and monitoring line are lightly bonded together, but can be separated to reach the flow meter and capnometer, minimizing clutter around the patient.

Carbon Dioxide

CO₂ is sampled from both nostrils for side-stream CO₂ monitoring through the nares.

Oxygen

Fresh oxygen is delivered to both nostrils via the ports.

Soft Touch Nasal Cannula

Ears are the most common site for Medical Device Related Hospital Acquired Pressure Ulcers (MDR HAPU), with 35% of affected patients suffering tissue breakdown in this area¹. Our nasal cannula range features Soft Touch tubing, minimizing friction and pressure on delicate tissues.

Microstream™ Compatibility

Dual products with a microstream type luer connector filter are compatible  with capnography monitors and multiparameter monitors equipped with Microstream technology.

The Challenge

Many patients become significantly hypoxic during gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures.¹ Following induced sedation during endoscopy, oxygen saturation falls moderately in most patients and quite profoundly in some patients to dangerously low levels. Hypoxia or hypercapnia may follow. Supplemental oxygenation during endoscopy has exerted by far the greatest impact on the reduction of the incidence of hypoxia in gastrointestinal endoscopy.²

The Requirement

According to American Society of Anesthesiologists’ (ASA) guidelines, during moderate or deep sedation the adequacy of ventilation shall be evaluated by continual observation of qualitative clinical signs and monitoring for the presence of exhaled carbon dioxide.³

Hydrophobic Filter

Protects the monitor from condensation and cross-contamination risks.

Universal Connections

The 22/15mm connectors can be used with ET tubes or anesthesia masks.

Choice of Luer

Available in male, female and slip luer.

Improved Accessibility

10ft line enables clinicians to easily connect the patient to the monitor, even from a distance.

Fixed Line

The pre-assembled fixed line saves time and reduces the risk of mis-assembly and delays in critical clinical situations.
