BladderScan® Bladder Volume Instruments and GlideScope® Video Laryngoscopes from Verathon® offer significant benefits to Acute Care Providers.

BladderScan® Bladder Volume Instruments use noninvasive ultrasound to determine bladder volume. Portable, reliable, and easy to use, BladderScan® is clinically proven to prevent unnecessary catheterisation and reduce rates of urinary tract infection by approximately 50% (Moore and Edwards, 1997, p39-43). To learn more, please visit our BladderScan® Products Page.

GlideScope® Video Laryngoscopes (GVL®) provides a consistently clear view of the patient’s airway, enabling quick intubation. GlideScope® is clinically proven to achieve a C/L Grade I or II view 99% of the time.1”. To learn more, please visit the GlideScope® Products Page.

GlideRiteT endotracheal tubes provide the anaesthetist with a technology enhanced range with distinct advantages over other standard endotracheal tubes:
1. Soft and flexible distal tip allowing the "ski-effect" along the ridges of the trachea.
2. The distal tip has a 45 degree angulation and double Murphy eyes to minimise patient trauma.
3. The edges of the "cuffed" tubes are moulded to eliminate any rough edges.
4. The tube tip is ideal for use with "fibre-optics" as it hugs closely to the device and removes any "ploughing" associated with normal tubes.
