CUFF PRESSURE REGULATOR
ALL-IN-ONE PRESSURE REGULATION. ACCURATE. EFFICIENT.
Cuffix is a battery-powered, single-patient use device that provides continuous regulation of pressure in inflatable ventilation tube cuffs (ETT, tracheostomy) using a passive control mechanism. It helps maintain optimal cuff pressure, reducing the risk of VAP and tracheal trauma. The product is designed for single-patient use, with an expected lifespan for up to 10 days or until extubation.
THE NEED
- Cuff balloon pressure must be kept within the safe range of 20-30 cmH2O
- Pressure fluctuations during patients moves increase the risk for VAP and for tracheal injury
- A cuff pressure reading must be taken during every ICU shift (compulsory routine with high personnel workload)
- Common devices require manual handling
THE CHALLENGE
- Pressure fluctuations increase the risk of VAP and/or tracheal
- Cuff pressure reading mandatory during every shift
- Use of external manometer and pressure adjustment manually
- External manometer are to be attached and removed
- Pressure fluctuations go undetected for extended periods
THE SOLUTION
- Continuous and precise cuff pressure reading and automated regulation
- Light indicator for distance assessment
- Very quick pressure equalisation
- Preventing of fluctuations and risks connected with under- and over-inflation of ETT baloon
- Single-patients use
- Quick and easy handling
- 10 days operation
- Mobile device

CLOSED SUCTION SYSTEM
INNOVATIVE 3RD GENERATION CSS WITH BALLOON-BASED MECHANICAL CLEANING SUPPORTS TRADITIONAL SUCTION. ALL AT THE PRESS OF A SINGLE BUTTON.
The unique Sweep Air Closed Suction System features dual operation of balloon swiping and suction to prevent build-up of biofilm in ETT and tracheostomy tubes. The solution is proven to deliver better secretion removal and biofilm prevention than any other closed suction system, while being just as easy to use.
MORE INFORMATIONS
THE NEED
- Biofilm build up inside the ETT
- Biofilm contributes to the patient’s risk of developing VAP
- Biofilm in the ETT compromises air flow and influences the efficacy of patients’ ventilation procedures
THE CHALLENGE
- Secretions and biofilm stick to the inner walls of the ETT.
- Standard suction catheters are not effective at removing biofilm and secretions due to lack of mechanical cleaning action (suction only).
- Cleaning and suctioning can be uncomfortable or painful for the patient, especially if done frequently.
- Effective cleaning systems and protocols can be costly and require significant resources, including specialized equipment and trained personnel.
THE SOLUTION
- Effective dual operation of balloon wiping and suction inside the ETT lumen
- No changes to personnel’s routine (single button procedure)
- Reduces work of ventilation and improves ventilation efficiency
- Decreases bacterial load inside the ETT and visibly prevents building up of microfilm
- Clinically proven to prevent biofilm buildup better than common suction-only catheters (closed and open system)
HYPER FORM
SELF-STABILIZING.
FORM-FIT SEAL.
Next generation of ventilation Laryngeal Masks and tube cuffs, dynamic form-fit for better and more stable seal at lower inflation pressure, reducing the risk of over-inflation and optimizing the sealing property of inflatable elements.
THE NEED
- Common concern with ventilation tubes/LMAs
- Pressure-induced tracheal and/or laryngeal Trauma
- Leak aspiration of blood and secretions
- Instability of cuff inflation pressure
- Inadequate airway seal for ventilation (particularly with laryngeal masks)
- High PIP ventilation requires high cuff pressure
- Placement difficulty and instability (particularly with laryngeal masks)
- Costly need of external inflation pressure stabilization devices
THE CHALLENGE
- Excessive pressure in the cuff causes soft tissue and nerve damage
- Inadequate fit to the respiratory tract results in ineffective ventilation
- Installing without deflation results in too much pressure in the cuff
- Patient movement during ventilation can cause pressure fluctuations inside the cuff
THE SOLUTION
HyperFlex Cuffs and LMAs designed with the use of proprietary and patent protected inflatable components and materials.
BETTER SEAL & PATIENT SAFETY
- Material design
- Geometrical dynamic fit
- Self-stabilized pressure response
- Perfect seal at lower pressure
- Dynamic high PIP management
- Lower tissue injury
- Reduce monitoring and adjustment need
SELF-STABILIZED PRESSURE
All HyperForm cuffs demonstrate the unique pressure self-stabilization performance. Using the HyperForm cuff reduces workload and improves patient safety:
- Prevent high pressure rise after initial setting
- Inhibit cuff pressure fluctuations
- Ensure self-adoptable mechanism to the changing airways anatomic configuration that results in fluctuating inflation pressures
- Eliminate the need for external pressure regulating devices and monitors
- Eliminate the need for repeated adjustments of cuff pressure after initial setting
TECHNOLOGY
The HyperForm cuff self-stabilization innovative 3rd generation cuff technology:
- Hyper-elastic material properties
- Dynamic form-fit
- Dynamic response to ventilation pressure cycle
- Self-stabilize to compensates for patient movement or anesthesia gas filtration
Pressure stabilization test for endo-tracheal tubes (ETT) shows that leading conventional HVLP devices (Microcuff, TaperGuard) are very sensitive to small fluctuations in volume, and a minute change of 0.2cc throws the pressure away from a desired pressure setting of 25 cmH2O to over 30 cmH2O , and up to 40 cmH2O with just 0.4cc volume change. It is a main cause of high pressure tissue injurydue to patients movement change of ETT positioning. In contrast, the HyperForm ETT cuff dynamically self-adjust to maintain the cuff pressure within the desired range of 20-30 cmH2O even with volume deviations exceeding 1.2cc.
BETTER SEAL
Designed for ventilation improvement and prevention of secretions leak for pressure endotracheal (ETT, tracheostomy) and supra-glottic devices (LMA , Laryngeal-tubes).
Better cuff seal is obtained at lower pressure with adoptable elasticity to compensate for the pressure variations.
Allow for high PIP ventilation (above 30 cmH2O ) even when the cuff is set at low safe cuff pressure setting of no more than 25 cmH2O. Comparative leak test shows that all conventional cuffs leak substantially, while the HyperFrom cuff maintained essentially zero leak. The ETT devices were placed in 19mm test tubes, with average cuff inflation pressure at 21cmH2O. Test liquid above the cuff simulates secretions, and leak is collected. 30 degrees move every 10min simulates the effect of a patient head movements.
NEW LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE & SAFETY
COPD SAFE & EFFECTIVE VENTILATION
For ventilation of COPD patients, at PIP of 35 cmH2O, conventional cuff ETTs require unsafe inflation pressure greater than 30 cmH2O, while HyperForm ETT cuff seals such high PIP even when set to safe inflation pressure of 25 cmH2O.
LARYNGEAL MASK AIRWAYS (LMA) SAFER AND MORE STABLE SEAL
Air seal quality is the first goal of all cuffed ventilation airways devices. For laryngeal masks (LM), conventional cuffs need inflation pressures of up to 50 cmH2O to obtain adequate seal for normal ventilations due to specific anatomical conditions, while the new HyperForm LM cuff seals at safer 25 cmH2O pressure with equivalent and better seal quality, additionally showing dynamic adaptation in case of patients movements.
PAEDIATRIC AND GERIATRIC
The HyperForm cuff lowers the risk of injury to the more sensitive tissue in both paediatric and geriatric patients.
BETTER FIT ACROSS HUMAN VARIABILITY
The HyperForm Cuff dynamic response and form-fit enable the cuff to compensate for different size and varying anatomical shape of human airways. Thereby, intubation outcome is more predictable and first attempt intubation success rate is improved.
