Universal Stylet Bougie (USB™)

Introducing the USB - a hybrid stylet and bougie.
The unique design of the USB incorporates two metal inserts either side a more flexible middle section. The USB can easily be manipulated to a variety of angles when used as a stylet, yet has the flexibility when used as a bougie to provide a significantly enhanced level of tracheal ring feedback.  In addition, the hexagonal shape provides less contact with the inner surface of the tracheal tube, providing particularly easy insertion and removal.
 
The USB offers a number of key advantages over traditional bougies and stylets:
  • Hybrid bougie and stylet
  • Improved insertion and removal
  • Improved storage
  • Improved tracheal ring detection

New LiteScope™ one-piece direct laryngoscope

We are pleased to announce the launch of the LiteScope™ direct laryngoscope, the latest addition to our range of airway management devices and accessories.
LiteScope is a new, one adult size, single use and fully disposable laryngoscope, offering a quick and easy-to-use solution for intubation while maximising patient safety.
 
Unlike a standard laryngoscope, the innovative one-piece design of LiteScope eliminates the need to connect a separate blade and handle, thus saving valuable time in an emergency.
 
LiteScope is ideal for use in:

  • pre-hospital
  • emergency medicine
  • resuscitation
  • anaesthesia
  • intensive care

As a single use, fully disposable laryngoscope, LiteScope eliminates the risks associated with the reprocessing of reusable devices, and therefore provides an ideal solution where there is a concern regarding infection control and also avoids any reprocessing costs.

For further information on LiteScope, or any of our other Airway Management devices, including the innovative i-gel® supraglottic airway, i-view™ video laryngoscope and Guedel airways, please contact us.

Breathing systems and infection control

As elective surgeries slowly resume in some countries following their COVID-19 peak there are continuing infection control challenges.
Breathing systems and all the disposable medical devices used to deliver general anaesthesia play an important role in the reduction of cross-contamination when used appropriately, and in accordance with the local, national or international guidelines.

Intersurgical offers a range of high-quality single-use breathing systems, available in different lengths, configurations and tube types for your clinical requirements.

ClearLite™ anaesthetic face masks

ClearLite is a new range of phthalate and PVC-free anaesthetic face masks available with or without a hook ring.

The range is lightweight and crystal clear with a colour-coded seal for ease of size selection.  The range is available in seven sizes - from 0 (neonatal) through to size 6 (large adult) - to meet the clinical needs of all patient types and sizes.

Due to the enhanced anatomical design and flexible, non-inflatable cuff, the ClearLite mask offers superior seal performance with minimum pressure, reducing the risk of unnecessary discomfort and potential trauma. The superior seal can also assist the clinician in providing optimum manual ventilation of the patient in both the anaesthetic and emergency situation.

As the ClearLite mask is phthalate and PVC free, and is available without a hook ring, it significantly reduces waste and minimises the impact on the environment.

To find out more about the range please visit the product page to review the information sheet and video.

ClearLite - a clear choice to reduce your impact on the environment.

VariFit™ NIV Mask - Product Launch

We are pleased to announce the launch of Intersurgical’s VariFit™ NIV masks.
VariFit is a single patient use hospital NIV mask featuring a cushion with AIRºgel® technology for enhanced patient comfort. The VariFit range includes three types of mask to suit the patient's ventilation needs. A colour-coded elbow helps the user identify the correct mask. Designed for single patient use for up to seven days in each case, they are available in three sizes: small, medium and large.

VariFit NIV Masks complement our existing range of patient interfaces. Download the information sheet for full details or visit the product page to make an enquiry.

Reduce the pressure

Intersurgical provides two products that can help reduce the occurrence of pressure ulcers on the ear: the Intersurgical EcoLite™ face mask range and nasal cannula with ear guards.

The Intersurgical EcoLite™ adult oxygen range features an extra chin section incorporating two integral seals ensuring that the mask fits a wide range of face shapes. The mask's retaining elastic can be fitted either above or below the patient's ear depending on the patient's face shape. In the preferred below ear position it eliminates the discomfort and longer-term trauma created by elastic sitting on top of the patient's ears.

Our nasal cannula with ear guards is designed to prevent trauma to the patient's ears thanks to the soft silicone foam cushions, which are easily adjusted and securely fitted.
