Clinician Benefits

Reduces risk of CO₂ rebreathing

During exhalation, the mask openings allow expired carbon dioxide to escape

Reduces risk of aspiration

Open Mask design minimizes the potential of emesis being aspirated

ETCO₂ monitoring available

OxyMask™ ETCO₂ allows for oxygen delivery and CO₂ monitoring for conscious sedation; Bronchoscopy, Endoscopy and Interventional Radiology.

Uninterrupted oxygen therapy

Patient communication, care and oral based therapies are possible without removing the mask and interrupting delivery of oxygen.

Provides greater safety for rotary, fixed wing, and ground EMS/Fire transports

By delivering a high concentration of oxygen at lower flows, total oxygen consumption is reduced. This also becomes a factor in Disaster Preparedness, Mass Casualty, and Pandemic situations.

Does not contain any natural rubber latex or Phthalates such as DEPH

Minimizes potential for allergic response. (Excluding OxyArm™ and OxyChin™, which are not free of phthalates)

Reduces risk of contamination and equipment set up error

By using one OxyMask™ vs. multiple devices, the bedside “clutter” is minimized

Patient Benefits

Lightweight, Open design:

• Reduces feelings of claustrophobia
• Allows unrestricted communication
• OxyMask™ provides access for fluids and oral medication
• Sits lightly on the face, reducing the possibility of skin breakdown under the nose, on the cheeks and on the ears
• Aids compliance of prescribed oxygen therapy by reducing interruptions

Operational & Staff Efficiencies

Cost savings

One OxyMask™ replaces many of the oxygen interface masks that have a specific use, flow range, or oxygen delivery range. Allowing SKU standardization and inventory reduction. This frees up valuable financial resources, allowing fewer purchases, stocking and the management of less inventory.

The OxyMask™ can be used for (but not limited to) bronchoscopies, endoscopies, labor & delivery, MRI/CAT scans, radiology and special procedures.

Uses less oxygen than traditional oxygen interfaces

The unique design of the OxyMask™ reduces oxygen consumption, saving bulk oxygen costs. Smaller cylinders used for rotary, fixed wing, EMS/Fire services, and in-house transport can be used for longer periods of time. This not only saves oxygen costs but allows for additional cylinder time providing added safety during transports.

Decreased oxygen consumption is critical in disaster preparedness and mass causality scenarios when medical oxygen resources are limited.

Promotes early discharge and may lower re-admittance

The flow range capabilities of the OxyMask™ facilitate patients leaving the hospital without the need to transition to a nasal cannula.

The use of OxyMask™ may prevent re-admissions when patients are unable to wear a nasal cannula and need a higher level of oxygenation.

Time savings

Clinician’s time can be utilized for better focused care as oxygen flow can now be quickly titrated to meet the patient’s needs without changing delivery devices

Reduction in medical waste and environmental impact

OxyMask™ minimizes environmental impacts by replacing multiple traditional devices. Reduces the amount of PVC and DEPH that leaches into the environment and will reduce emissions if disposed of by a medical waste incinerator.

OxyMask™, OxyMask™ ETCO₂, OxyMulti-Mask™, OxyTrach™, and OxyMask™ Aerosol do not contain natural rubber latex or phthalates such as DEPH. Non PVC OxyMasks are available.
