The Cuirass is lightweight and has a foam seal that maintains an airtight fit around the patient. It is very comfortable to wear. It is available in 11 different sizes, ranging from babies to adults.
Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation can be used both in the hospital setting or at home. BCV is ideally suited for use in both acute and chronic, intubated or non-intubated patients. United Hayek power units are really advanced. Devices like the Hayek RTX are crammed with the latest technology.

Recent high profile incidents have raised awareness of the acute problem of treating and dealing with mass casualty situations. One particular issue of great concern is the lack of an adequate way to deal with large groups of people requiring ventilation quickly and effectively.
Increased numbers of people gathering at shopping centres, stadia, public transportation facilities, high rise buildings and office blocks have increased the likelihood of mass casualty situations during accidents in these places. Increased traffic on the road, air, sea and rail has added to the realistic dangers faced by large groups of the public when travelling. Breathing consists of two phases: During the inspiration phase the diaphragm moves downwards, while the rib muscles pull the the ribs out expanding the chest. This expands the lungs and generates a lower pressure inside the chest cavity than outside.
