Product Specifications
The Bubble Helmet
The Bubble Helmet is designed for both non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and CPAP therapy, providing an alternative to traditional masks. This non-powered ventilation device encloses a patient’s head to contain oxygen delivered to the patient for breathing. Optimized for comfort and safety, the Bubble Helmet is the first flexible, single material helmet in the world. The Bubble Helmet design solves many issues experienced with endotracheal intubation and face mask use, and improves NIV outcomes, leading to reduced ventilation time and decreasing duration in the ICU.
