NEW MEDICAL DEVICES

New Section! Discover new cutting-edge medical devices that are revolutionizing patient care and improving outcomes in the ICU.

LUCASThe LUCAS (Lund University Cardiac Assist System) is a battery-powered mechanical device that provides automated chest compressions to patients experiencing cardiac arrest, ensuring consistent, high-quality compressions that can improve patient outcomes and reduce rescuer fatigue. Originating from research at Lund University in Sweden, the LUCAS device is used in both hospital and pre-hospital settings and features a plunger device with a suction cup that fits around the patient’s chest to deliver effective compressions at a set depth and rate.
Key Benefits:
Consistent Compressions
Delivers chest compressions at a consistent rate and depth, unlike manual compressions which can be affected by rescuer fatigue.
Reduced Rescuer Fatigue
Eliminates the need for prolonged manual chest compressions, freeing up emergency personnel to perform other critical tasks during resuscitation.
Improved Circulation
Provides an adequate circulation to the brain and other vital organs.
Mobile
The device is small and compact, making it easy to transport and use in ambulances, helicopters, and hospitals.
