Dräger medical – Patient Care Medical Equipment
Dräger is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of medical equipment. The company offers products, services and integrated CareArea™ solutions throughout the patient care process – from emergency care, perioperative care to critical care, perinatal care and home care.

Dräger provides innovative solutions for the acute point of care which are the result of a clear focus on core competencies, a close dialog with customers, over a century of experience in the market, and continuous investment in R&D. The company’s goal is to help improve the quality of patient care while supporting care process efficiency in order to assist in healthcare cost savings.

CARINA™: THE COMPACT SUB-ACUTE VENTILATOR

Carina is a new, compact sub-acute ventilator designed to accommodate both invasive and non-invasive ventilation. And, it is ideally suited for use in intermediate care units, sub-acute care facilities and recovery rooms.

Carina’s Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) technology holds the key. By offering NIV across our complete line of ventilators and integrating SyncPlus® advanced leakage compensation technology, we can support your efforts to both avoid intubation whenever possible, and facilitate rapid weaning and extubation.

As a result, the use of NIV for acute respiratory failure has the potential of reducing hospital morbidity, shortening patient length of stay and reducing the cost of care; while at the same time improving patient comfort. Yet this is just one aspect of our integrated CareArea™ solutions, to impact your entire patient care process.

SYNCPLUS® – SIMPLIFYING HIGHLY RESPONSIVE VENTILATION

SyncPlus is a convenient, automated technology designed to precisely synchronize ventilation with patient breathing patterns. Through leakage compensation, cycle learning technology and multi-sense trigger detection, SyncPlus helps to enhance therapy responsiveness, while the need for caregiver intervention is minimized.

NOVASTAR™ – FIRST FULL FACE NV MASK

NovaStar is the first full face NV mask with a silicone gel filled mask cushion in the institutional use. The flexible, transparent mask shell and the finest gel cushion fully adapt to the wearer’s face. The pliable ring embedded inside the flexible clear shell allows the mask to be bent and adjusted to fit the patient’s face (customized fit), while minimizing leakages. NovaStar NV mask has magnetic clips for easy capture and secure fastening of the mask headgear. The magnetic clips are self-aligning.

100 YEARS OF INNOVATION IN VENTILATION TECHNOLOGY

Dräger celebrates special anniversaries this year. The anniversaries which emphasize that internationality and innovativeness have a long tradition at Dräger. 100 years ago in October 1907, company founder, Johann Heinrich Dräger, was awarded a patent for the Pulmotor, the first mobile short-term respirator.

This marked the birth of ventilation technology development at Dräger. Simple, reliable, and extremely effective, the apparatus – transported in a wooden cabinet – quickly became a standard piece of equipment used by rescue services throughout Germany.
