While so much attention in the media has focused on the provision of ventilators, in fact they are not the only breathing support devices that are required to support patients who are suffering from the effects of COVID -19.
Increasingly, continuous Positive Airway Pressure (cPAP) medical devices are being used to help sufferers breathe.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (cPAP) medical devices
cPAP devices provide vital respiratory support by applying mild and continuous positive air (and oxygen) pressure to keep the airways open in patients who are able to breathe spontaneously; thereby helping them breathe and take up oxygen more easily.
Crucially, cPAP is an alternative to mechanical ventilation in the majority of patients, thereby reducing demand for intensive care beds and allowing ventilators to be reserved for the most critically ill patients.
Vision Engineering answered a call to manufacture and deliver essential components for a project to deliver 2000 new oxygen flow monitors in just 8 days – the design of the unit had taken only 5 days!
