This makes the LSRII the ideal choice where storage is an issue and where disposable bags are inappropriate.
The unique, see-through, multi-function mask cover provides additional support to the silicone mask and facilitates an improved seal including those with unusual facial characteristics.
The reduced number of parts allows the LSRII to be assembled and disassembled with ease and all parts of the LSRII are latex free to prevent possible allergic reactions.
Standard on both the Preterm and Paediatric models is a new pressure relief valve that fully complies with ILCOR recommendations (30 - 35cm of H2O) and helps to reduce the risk of excessive ventilation pressure.
The patient valve on all models will allow the patient to breath spontaneously with minimal resistance.
