Advantages Of LiquoGuard® Versus Gravity Drains
Gravity-based drip chambers are commonly used by cardiovascular and neurosurgical teams for CSF drainage, but are difficult to manage and fraught with problems, especially restrictions on movement and inadvertent "dumping" of cerebrospinal fluid.
LiquoGuard® - our automated CSF Management technology - is easy to manage and eliminates the challenges associated with gravity-based drains. There is now no need to:
- level a transducer each time the patient moves,
- manipulate stopcocks
- choose between measuring pressure or draining CSF
- keep the patient still while draining without the risk of overdraining CSF.
Handling mistakes are prevented, which greatly improves patient safety and leads to shorter ICU stays.
