The Optiflow Junior nasal cannula is a ventilation cannula for infant and child patients, which helps to provide them with humidified oxygen in situations of respiratory distress. The kink-proof, breathable tubing system reduces condensation by 87 per cent as compared to conventional tube systems. Easy to apply and remove, the cannula is likewise distinguished by the way it gently fits to the patient’s face. Colour coding enables quick identification of the anatomically correct size.
