Additional product information
Use the Portable Helix ventilator in conjunction with Glostavent® Portables for mechanical ventilation. Lightweight for portability and contained in an optional Peli shockproof and waterproof case, this is an ideal first response ventilator available in Adult/Paediatric or Paediatric/Infant versions.
Pneumatically driven, it will use drive gas from any source: oxygen concentrator, cylinder or air compressor. Oxygen drive gas can be returned to the patient circuit where required, so there is zero gas wastage.
The Helix Portable Ventilator has a flexible power supply for recharge and long internal battery backup. It has very low running costs and minimal maintenance is required.
