StarMed CaStar Up – Openable hood for CPAP therapy

The CaStar Up is an openable hood for CPAP therapy that allows rapid access to the patient’s face during nursing procedures or in case of emergency. One operator can easily remove the upper part of the hood.  It is well tolerated for extended periods and can reduce the risks associated with both endotracheal intubation and face mask use.

Technical Features
• Fitted with integrated pressure gauge to check the presence of pressure within the hood
• Built in inflatable neck cushion for added patient comfort

• Other fastening accessories are available if required
• Two versatile sealed access ports suitable for single or multiple lumen probes or catheters
