Hayek Medical, a division of United Hayek Industries specializes in the design, manufacture and sale of non-invasive respiratory devices, in particular using a new and patented method of ventilation to achieve what is known as Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation (BCV). We are the world leader in this unique method of ventilation.

Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation is a therapeutic intervention that has been found to facilitate improvement of the sequelae of Respiratory Failure related to most causes. The biphasic cuirass by virtue of the way it mimics and supplements the natural pressure changes in the chest has been found to enhance the delicate failing cardiopulmonary interaction. The primary reasons for utilizing BCV include increased pulmonary blood flow, increased minute ventilation, improved pulmonary compliance and better heart and lung function, along with increased potential for thoracic lymphatic drainage and enhanced airway clearance. 

BCV has been proven to work and be extremely effective for a wide variety of patient groups: Neuromuscular, COPD, Cystic Fibrosis, ARDS patients as well as ventilator weaning and intubation/extubation safety.  

Please come visit us to find out how and to try on this unique mode of extrathoracic noninvasive ventilation.

The value of Non-Magnetic patient care products may not be readily apparent until an adverse event occurs. IRadimed is the world’s first and only provider of Non-Magnetic IV infusion pumps and Non-Magnetic multi-parameter patient monitors designed specifically for MRI use. Critical patients can now get connected to the IRadimed MRI patient monitor and IRadimed MRI Infusion Pump at their ICU bedside, anesthesia induction room or MRI table. The monitor and pump easily attaches to the patient’s bed allowing a single staff member to transport the patient to MRI. By having the patient arrive already connected to their MRI patient care devices eliminates projectile risks, reduces operating costs and introduces the same patient bedside practices to the MRI that are common throughout the rest of the hospital.

The revolutionary Pediatric Device for Induction of Anesthesia (PEDIA) is the only MASK-FREE anesthesia gas-delivery system designed just for kids!

Studies show that placement of the anesthesia mask is "the most stressful part of surgery for a child".  This antiquated method has been employed for almost a century because there were no viable solutions.

Until Now!

Instead of a claustrophobic, foul-smelling mask forced onto a child's face, the PEDIA distracts, engages and entertains a child with a colorful, whistling balloon! During a stressful time, PEDIA allows a child to use his or her best coping mechanism: Play.  Yes, our balloons Turn Panic into Play!
