Verathon Medical is a subsidiary of the global developer-manufacturer Verathon, based in Seattle, Washington. The group has global sales in excess of €150 million, with a significant worldwide share of niche anaesthesia and urological diagnosis markets.

Verathon Medical supplies the healthcare sector with unique and innovative product solutions for urological diagnosis and airway management. Verathon has four branded products, each occupying a market-leading position in the provision of high quality, well-serviced medical devices.

Glidescope® single-use video laryngoscope

Glidescope® Cobalt is a complete range of single-use laryngoscopes to allow intubation in any size / age of patient from pre-term / infants to morbidly obese.

Glidescope® Ranger is the portable video laryngoscope that provides the complete solution from A&E crash trolleys to air / ground ambulances, utilising the same CMOS camera technology as the standard Glidescope® unit.

Gliderite® endotracheal tubes with a unique 'flex tip'

The Gliderite® endotracheal tube has a soft, curved distal tip designed to prevent trauma to airway structures:

• Soft, flexible, resilient tip glides gently along the airway surfaces without ploughing
• Centred tip helps facilitate rapid intubation
• Tapered tip designed to pass easily through a narrow glottis
• Curved tip provides better visualisation of the distal end of the tube and glottis-opening during intubation

BladderScan® - non-invasive bladder volume instrument for urological diagnosis

The BladderScan® is used throughout the healthcare continuum worldwide, in primary, acute and extended care. Two new products have been added to the range over the past year: BVI 9400 is the Bladderscan® that uses neural-harmonics for increased accuracy / speed, and the FloPoint Elite uroflow-meter measures peak flow / average flow in the comfort of a normal toilet.

Both of these systems are 'standard of care' in many hospital disciplines, including urology, obstetrics and gynaecology, neurology, elderly care, orthopaedics, paediatrics, stroke and rehabilitation, and surgical recovery.

The BladderScan® range of medical devices offers serious cost-saving benefits to hospitals:

• Cost benefits are measured / monitored using our unique business case packages
• Prevention and removal of all unnecessary catheterisations
• Reduces the common incidence of urinary tract / hospital acquired infection
• Easy-to-use, and will immediately save staff time and expenditure
• Non-invasive, cost-effective elimination of patient trauma and protection of patient dignity
• BladderScan® training linked to all UK NHS KSF requirements
• The use of BladderScan® can promote best practice and safeguard standards of care
• BladderScan® products, consumables and accessories can be purchased through NHS supply chain contracts

P-bag® - unisex, environmentally friendly portable urinal

The P-Bag® has a complete design and 'no spill' capability that adds benefits to current nursing practices in both acute / primary care and community uses, and is particularly useful in transportation and outdoor / leisure activities where toilets are not easily accessible.

• Increases ward storage space
• Reduces the need to lift patients before voiding
• Perform visual checks on urinary output and restore patient independence and dignity
• Reduces nursing time required for emptying / assisting tasks

Verathon Medical is committed to helping healthcare professionals improve patient care through reliable, innovative, easy-to-use, easy-to-own and 'best in class' medical instruments.
