Overview

Cuff pressure management made simple

Manually sustaining stable cuff pressures in ventilated patients can be unreliable. The Puritan Bennett™ cuff pressure manager offers a simple solution to this serious safety issue.

Help protect patients against common and costly tracheal injuries and VAP caused by cuff overinflation and underinflation1–7 with the Puritan Bennett™ cuff pressure manager — a simple and reliable way to monitor and maintain cuff pressure.

Designed for ease of use and ready to support your range of needs, the Puritan Bennett™ cuff pressure manager reduces the manual work of measuring and adjusting cuff pressure with a manometer and syringe.4,6,8

It comes in a portable, compact controller that allows you to quickly inflate and deflate the cuff. Its intuitive interface and large, clear display lets you see cuff pressure measurements from 2 meters away.9 Built-in safety features, such as cuff leakage detection and a filtered extension tube, also safeguard patients from ventilator-associated complications.10

Continuously measured, always managed

With the Puritan Bennett™ cuff pressure manager, you have a simple and reliable way to monitor and maintain cuff pressure in ventilated patients. Explore all the features in more detail in our brochure.
