NimbicSystems Air Barrier
NimbicSystems's Air Barrier System delivers
a direct flow of ultra-pure air that begins just
inches from the incision site. The air is
delivered through a disposable nozzle
that can be securely affixed to the
surgical drape at an angle that does
not obstruct surgeons. The nozzle
is connected to a sterile hose that
attaches to a reusable, non-sterile
box unit that takes in air and filters it
before it goes into the hose and out the
nozzle.
