A heart-lung machine allows the surgeon to carefully stop the heart while still maintaining blood circulation. The machine consists of a pump, which functions as the heart, and an oxygenator, which replaces the function of the lungs. 

John Gibbon developed a heart-lung machine that he used in 1953 to successfully complete the first open-heart operation. Because of the development of the heart-lung machine, surgeons were able to perform surgeries previously considered too risky. 

Cooler/Heater system is used to lower/raise the blood temperature and/or maintain blood temperature, as required, through conductive heat transfer. The conductive heat transfer on the Sub Zero cooler is accomplished through any type of blood oxygenator/heat exchanger unit, along with the use of a blanket under the patient for the re-warming phase, if desired. 

Defibrillators are devices that apply an electric charge or current to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat. If the heart rhythm stops due to cardiac arrest, also known as sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), a defibrillator may help it start beating again.

The internal defibrillation paddles (in short, the internal paddles) are intended to deliver an electrical pulse directly to the patient's heart for the purpose of internal cardiac defibrillation during thoracotomy. 

ECMO is a therapy used to treat people with life-threatening heart and lung failure. ECMO involves the use a machine to replace some of the functions of a patient's lungs or heart, or both simultaneously. While ECMO therapy can be life-saving, it is not itself a treatment. 

An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a device that helps your heart pump more blood. You may need it if your heart cannot pump enough blood for your body. The IABP consists of a thin, flexible tube called a catheter. Attached to the tip of the catheter is a long balloon. 

Cell savers have been used extensively in orthopedic, cardiac, and neurologic surgeries and should be considered for use during gynecologic surgery when bleeding is anticipated or occurs. The device suctions blood from the operative field, mixes it with heparinized saline, and stores the blood in a canister. 

Forced-air warming systems filter air and then force the warm air through a disposable blanket, which cover patients before, during and after surgery. The blankets are designed to use pressure points on the patient's body to prevent heat from reaching areas at risk for pressure sores or burns. 

The combined use of hydrogen peroxide vapor and plasma safely and rapidly sterilizes medical instruments and materials without leaving toxic residues. TRUSTED. Sterilizes rigid endoscopes, cameras, light cables, batteries, micro surgical (including ophthalmic) and general surgical instruments. 

is a machine that helps you breathe when you're sick, injured, or sedated for an operation. It pumps oxygen-rich air into your lungs. It also helps you breathe out carbon dioxide, a harmful waste gas your body needs to get rid of. 

Providing ventilatory support to an ICU patient. Transporting a patient to and from the operating room. Helping patients breathe during certain operations. Transporting intensive care patients to another hospital. 

High flow oxygen therapy is for in people in respiratory distress who still have low oxygen levels despite trying traditional oxygen therapy. High flow oxygen therapy supports breathing in people with: Acute heart failure. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) 

High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is an oxygen supply system capable of delivering up to 100% humidified and heated oxygen at a flow rate of up to 60 liters per minute.
