Xperius™

Xperius™ is a sophisticated ultrasound system developed in collaboration between B. Braun and Philips, manufactured to meet the needs of regional anaesthesia and vascular access. Ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia, including peripheral nerve blocks and neuraxial applications, and ultrasound-assisted vascular access, such as CVC, PICC, IVC placements, and arterial accesses, are typically performed using the Xperius™ device. Additionally, it can be used as a method for abdominal examinations, lung scans, and other diagnostic procedures.

Dialog iQ®

The Dialog iQ is a dialysis system with two biological inputs which improve information on the patient’s hemodynamic condition. It has the capability of achieving appropriate dialysis doses for all patients as well as all treatment modes (SNCO, HD, HDF), and is designed to be intuitive, adaptable and easy-to-use. One of the main advantages of the Dialog iQ is the machine’s rapid preparation capabilities, as the setting of the machine and its rinse out of the blood and dialysate circuit occur in a single step.
