TrachCare
TrachCare integrates acid-responsive, colour-changing fibre gauze and stretchable ultrasonic array imaging technology to detect airway blockages and tube dislodgement. The device alerts caregivers instantly through red and yellow lights, along with audible alarms. To aid caregivers in the early identification of inflammation and infections, the gauze changes colour to red or blue depending on the pH of wound secretions.
