Intersurgical's range of breathing filters are colour coded for ease of identification, minimising any potential risk to the patient.

Our extensive range of breathing filters, Heat and Moisture Exchangers (HMEs) and Heat and Moisture Exchanging Filters (HMEFs) provide an effective barrier that prevents cross contamination between patients, breathing systems, respiratory and anaesthetic equipment, and the clinical environment.

They are colour coded for ease of selection:

• Yellow = Breathing filters
• Blue = HMEs
• Green (yellow + blue) = HMEF (Breathing filter + HME)

Visit our dedicated page to find out more about the key patient safety features of our anaesthetic breathing systems. To view further information about our filter range please visit the filtration and humidification page.

Xi Jin from Kettering General Hospital takes the first spot in our 2022 calendar.

The vibrant green of the rolling hills captured at Buttermere, Lake District, caught our eye and we thought it was the perfect image to kick off the year.

Join us at the Association’s Virtual WSM next week, it’s not too late to register.

We are delighted to be starting the year by supporting the Association’s Virtual WSM with an exhibitor profile and, we are also proud sponsors of the Award for Innovation.

Patient safety is a primary focus in the design of our product range. During the event we will be showing the safety features of our anaesthetic breathing systems including:

Integral monitoring – Our breathing systems with an integral monitoring line are securely anchored at the y-piece ensuring optimal positioning for accurate and reliable gas monitoring.

Silver Knight™ anti-microbial breathing systems – Anti-microbial silver ions in the breathing system help to reduce bacteria by 99.9% and minimises the risk of cross-contamination.

Breathing filters, HMEs, HMEFs – We offer an extensive range of high efficiency breathing filters, HMEs and HMEFs which are colour coded for ease of identification and appropriate clinical use.

Push and Twist - Intersurgical’s unique Push and Twist feature ensures a secure, leak free fit every time. We maintain and control high-precision tolerances in the design and manufacture of all connectors to ensure a safe and secure connection.

There will be many opportunities to chat live with our representatives if you have any questions and arrange a virtual product demonstration.

We look forward to catching up with you at the event, however, if you are unable to attend, please follow the conversation on our social media channels and visit our dedicated patient safety page.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the LiteScope™ direct laryngoscope, the latest addition to our range of airway management devices and accessories.

LiteScope is a new single use and fully disposable laryngoscope, offering a quick and easy-to-use solution for intubation while maximising patient safety. Unlike a standard laryngoscope, the innovative one-piece design of LiteScope eliminates the need to connect a separate blade and handle, thus saving valuable time in an emergency.

Modelled on a Macintosh size 4 blade, the insertion technique is the same as for any standard laryngoscope with a Macintosh blade. LiteScope is ideal for use in:

• pre-hospital
• emergency medicine
• resuscitation
• anaesthesia
• difficult airway
• intensive care

As a single use, fully disposable laryngoscope, LiteScope eliminates the risks associated with the reprocessing of reusable devices, and therefore provides an ideal solution where there is a concern regarding infection control and also avoids any reprocessing costs.

For further information on LiteScope, or any of our other Airway Management devices, including the innovative i-gel® supraglottic airway, i-view™ video laryngoscope and Guedel airways, please contact us.
