Breathing Filters for anesthesia and critical care

GVS - Breathing Filters Characterics

 
Range of Products
GVS Breathing filters consist of two products: Thermoflow and Flowbac.
Thermoflow is used for anesthesia and critical care applications. It is assembled into circuits to filter and humidify inspired air or anesthetic gas mixtures.
Flowbac is used for anesthesia and critical care applications. It is assembled into circuits to filter gases, as well as to protect both the equipment and the patient from cross contamination.

Wide choice
GVS Breathing Filters are available bulk non sterile, packed non sterile, or single packed sterile.

 

Hi Flow
The air flow resistance is very low despite the high capacity to retain micro-organism. GVS-Breathing Filters have very high microbial/viral efficiency.

Active humidifier replacement
Due to the hygroscopic cellulose in the GVS Thermoflow HME Filter, it can replace active humidifier. It holds moisture.
 

Thermoflow and Flowbac

 
Thermoflow is a single-use disposable HME Filter used in anesthesia and critical care breathing circuits when it's very important to keep filtered and humidified air or other anesthetic gases inspired by the patient. The retention of micro-organisms is assured by the hydrophobic PP electrostatically charged membrane, while the HME functions are obtained by the hygroscopic cellulose material. The filter is normally connected at the "patient side". It is available either bulk packed and non-sterile, or packed and sterile".

 
 

 
Flowbac is a single-use disposable breathing filter used in anesthesia and critical care breathing circuits. It's used to keep a barrier between the patient and the breathing equipment when air or other anesthetic gas mixtures are delivered to the patient. The filter is normally connected at the "machine side", one filter on the inspiration side and another filter on the expiration side. Flowbac is available either bulk packed and non sterile or packed and sterile.
