Play powered paediatric mask
Wednesday, 13 July, 2016
A new nasal mask for non-invasive ventilation of children with obstructive sleep apnoea and neuromuscular disorders is being released by Philips Respironics. Its design hints at a giraffe’s neck, though one would think that an elephant’s trunk would have been the thing to mimic. As such, it comes with Jacky Giraffe, Sami the Seal, and Tucker the Turtle, three animated toys that interact with the child and each other to take the worry away from the mask.
The Wisp Paediatric is made to be smaller and more comfortable than existing devices and features a leak correction dial that helps caretakers fix leaks without waking the child. It can work with infants as light as 10 kgs up to kids as old as seven years.
