Teleflex Launches Comfort Flo Plus Cannula

Wayne, Pa.-based Teleflex has launched its Comfort Flo Plus cannula to be used in heated high flow nasal cannula therapy.

The cannula features silicone nares; an optional chin strap to encourage closed mouth treatments, which may increase positive end pressure; and a bifurcated head strap for a secure fit during patient movement.

The device demonstrated an ability to improve pulmonary compliance, reduce work of breathing and wash out dead space leading to improved fraction of alveolar gases, the company says.

Teleflex is a global provider of medical technologies in the fields of vascular and interventional access, surgical, anesthesia, cardiac care, urology, emergency medicine and respiratory care. — Michael Cipriano
