the SIMEX cuff M can be adjusted to the individual circumstances of the patient.

Using the SIMEX cuff M allows secretions to be removed effectively from the subglottic region. This allows
the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) to be reduced significantly. This increases the quality
of life and adds essential safety when blocked cannulas are used. www.simexmed.de

Depending on the volumes of secretions output, the SIMEX cuff M minimises the effect of a column of se-
cretions on the cuff of the cannula. A disposable secretion container (250 ml) with integrated gelling agent is
used for disposal of the secretions.

Therapy-modulated operating mode

• The vacuum range can be set digitally from -10 to -300 mbar in steps of 10 mbar
• The operating and pause times for the pump can also be set individually, digitally.
• Drying out of the mucous membranes in the mouth and throat can be prevented.

Further important benefits of the SIMEX cuff M

• safe treatment thanks to the vacuum monitoring and time monitoring, as well as the electronic self-monitor-
ing of the SIMEX cuff M itself
• simple and uncomplicated menu control, background colours in the display (yellow, blue, green and red)

cuff S
The SIMEX  cuff S is designed for
subglottic extraction in order to prevent
ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

• low noise and little vibration (35 dB(A))

• simple operation, very safe to use
• choice of batteries or mains power
• DFS® - double filter system protects the inside of the device against contamination
