Thopaz+ allows healthcare professionals to make informed decisions based on precise drainage data.
IMPROVES OUTCOMES
STREAMLINES CARE
NICE (an executive non-departmental public body of the Department of Health in the UK) recommends Thopaz+ for managing chest drains.
Allows for cost savings of up to £550 ($703) per patient
Shortens hospital stay due to shorter chest tube duration
Improves safety for patients with chest drains
Thopaz+ allows the optimal pressure to be applied for post-operative chest drainage management, and permits objective and reliable monitoring of patient status. As a result, the length of hospital stay can be shortened by at least 1 day 1, 2, 6, 7 with the corresponding reduction in hospital costs 1–5.
Early decision making using objective real-time data.
Greater convenience due to automated management of prescribed therapy while digitally tracking fluid output rates and air leak trends over time.
Compact, hygienic and easy-to-clean system offering intuitive operation and handling.
Lightweight design and rechargeable batteries enhance patient satisfaction allowing full mobility.
Medela's Thopaz+ takes chest drainage therapy to a new level of care. This simulator helps you to become familiar with Thopaz+ and its advanced functions.
