Funded by its official NHS charity, Bradford Hospitals’ Charity, Bradford Teaching Hospital have produced their own video which explains how they have introduced Baggins into their Trust to relax and distract their paediatric patients in their journey through their hospital.  They have also produced a video titled ‘Baggins the bear arrives in Bradford’ which features the journey of Kian throughout his stay at Bradford Hospital with the support of our Baggins the Bear collection!  You can also read more about this on their website.

We love seeing ‘Baggins the Bear’ in action and we are delighted our collection can support both paediatric patients and hospitals during a child’s hospital journey.

Find out more about our Baggins the Bear collection on our dedicated landing page, where you can download or request your free Baggins starter pack.

We are pleased to introduce the AbCan™ as part of our extensive absorbents range.

The AbCan™ is an easy to use disposable absorber that has been developed specifically for clinical use during anaesthesia to absorb carbon dioxide within an anaesthetic breathing system. It also offers a fast and easy exchange, an efficient CO2 absorption, an air-tight seal for storage, and no dust emission.

It is supplied with Spherasorb our unique medical grade CO₂ absorbent designed specifically for clinical use, Spherasorb has a long history of use within anaesthesia and meets all the requirements of the United States and British Pharmacopoeias. Spherasorb’s chemical formulation has been developed specifically to address the potential problems of use within the medical environment, while maintaining the highest possible CO₂ capacity.

The AbCan is compatible only with the Getinge® (formerly Maquet®) Anaesthesia Delivery Systems, Flow-i™ C20, C30, C40, Flow-c™ and Flow-e™.

It is essential that the user follows both the instructions for use of the Getinge® Flow-i™, Flow-c™ and Flow-e™ Anaesthesia Delivery Systems and also the instructions for use supplied with each box of Intersurgical AbCan absorbers.

What a tweet image! Nigel Newnham from Gloucester Royal Hospital takes December’s spot on our 2022 Calendar.

Nigel’s lovely image, taken at Burley Lakes in Cheltenham, stood out from other entries for our ‘On the Waterfront’ photo calendar competition last year. This Christmas Robin is the perfect image for the month of December.

We recently announced the winners of this year’s ‘Furry Friends’ photo calendar competition. Find out who won here, and view the 2022 and 2023 calendars via the links below.

And request a free copy!

In October we announced the winners of our photo calendar competition themed ‘Furry Friends’ via our website. We received so many fantastic images but our overall winner was Tiggy, the 11-year-old Jack Russell, submitted by owner Eden Lowe from University Hospital Southampton.

Eden is working in New Zealand for a year so we took a trip to meet Tiggy and present her with Eden’s prize, a £500 cheque which has been donated to Oakhaven Hospice, a charity providing specialist palliative care to those facing life-limiting illness. We were delighted to support this fantastic charity and meet the very well behaved star of our 2023 calendar.

Thank you to everyone who entered this years’ competition.
