Oxygen will not be pumped out when the patient is exhaling and this will save oxygen from being wasted .
There are two products developed by Camcon Medical :
• IMOD – Intelligent Medical Oxygen Delivery
• BiMOD – Binary Intelligent Medical Oxygen Delivery ( which combines Oxygen and nitric oxide )
These valves are designed to revolutionise the use of oxygen therapy for patients in respiratory failure , by delivering precise pulses of gas at the beginning of each patient ’ s inhalation , allowing the oxygen and nitric oxide to be delivered to the most efficient parts of the lungs .
Unlike intubating a patient for invasive mechanical ventilation , the patient remains conscious and breathes on their own and the lung is not forced open , which damages the delicate lung tissue . The benefits of this precise dose of gas means BiMOD can make the supply of medical oxygen more efficient , sustainable and cost effective .
“ What the pandemic has shown is that we need smarter ways of working in order to deliver more efficient care to patients ”
PROF . WLADYSLAW WYGNANSKI DIRECTOR , CAMCON
Healthcare Global interviewed Professor Wladyslaw and Professor Tim Higenbottam , to hear more about this oxygen-saving technology .
The healthcare industry needs smarter ways of working to deliver efficient care As with all industrial organisations , Camcon has faced delays over the COVID-19 pandemic , due to shortages of components and the disruption of communication facilities .
“ Designing and building a revolutionary device has been a challenge as collaborations are essential in health technology ”, said Prof Wladyslaw . healthcareglobal . com 59
