Typically high flow therapy is not available in a non-invasive ventilator, requiring frequent switching in the ICU, slowing delivery of therapy, causing hardship for patients, and eating into clinicians’ time. This device helps clinicians to quickly adjust therapies according to the condition of patients without switching devices. V60 Plus is designed for early intervention in respiratory failure and enables clinicians to improve patient outcomes with less invasive respiratory care therapies.

The operator puts the doughnut over the foot or hand, and pulls on the handles to unravel the HemaShock while applying pressure throughout the appendage. It takes one person about thirty seconds to put on the HemaShock.

It’s indicated for a systolic blood pressure of less than 80 mmHg with hemodynamic shock or circulatory arrest, and can be applied even while the patient is being transported inside an ambulance.
