Description
Cuff pressure management made simple
Manually maintaining stable cuff pressures in ventilated patients can be unreliable. The Puritan Bennett™ cuff pressure manager offers a simple solution to this serious safety issue.
Help protect patients against common and costly tracheal injuries and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by cuff overinflation and underinflation.1–7 The Puritan Bennett™ cuff pressure manager provides a simple and reliable way to monitor and maintain cuff pressure.
Designed for ease of use and ready to support your range of needs, the Puritan Bennett™ cuff pressure manager reduces the manual work of measuring and adjusting cuff pressure with a manometer and syringe.4,6,8
It comes in a portable, compact controller that allows you to quickly inflate and deflate the cuff. Its intuitive interface and large, clear display let you see cuff pressure measurements from two meters away.9 Built-in safety features, such as cuff leakage detection and a filtered extension tube, also safeguard patients from ventilator-associated complications.10
