Quality NIV masks
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is often chosen in cases of acute respiratory insufficiency, because modern respirators offer response times of milliseconds, so technical hurdles are overcome.
Dräger pointed out that one problem remains: the ready availability of high-quality leak-proof ventilation masks.
At Medica 2007, the company presented their solution: ergonomically designed NIV ventilation masks with adjustable fixation for the full face. The ClassicStar and NovaStar offer maximum contact and high patient comfort. Leakages due to monitoring interruptions and PEEP losses despite mechanical compensation no longer compromise the efficiency of the therapy.
ClassicStar is a disposable mask with 6-point headgear. Nova-Star is semi-reusable; it could be used up to five times after disinfection.
A soft gel cushion and adjustable forehead support avoid decubitus on the nose bridge. Four magnetic clips secure the mask.
Both masks are suitable for pressure-supported spontaneous breathing and for controlled assisted ventilation. An optional anti-asphyxia valve ensures convenient access to room air in the event of reduced pressure as well as CO2 elimination.
