Face and tracheostomy
nebulizing mask

The Wright Mask is custom-designed for tracheostomy patients to diminish discomfort and ensure equal moisturization of the mouth, nose and trach. It offers users and caregivers convenience with the ability to nebulize nose, mouth and trach simultaneously, with one adjustable unit and fewer tubes to get tangled. Quality of life is improved as the mask cuts in half the amount of time it takes to nebulize the conventional way. The conventional nebulizing process takes 15 steps and 2 masks; the Wright nebulizing process takes 8 steps and 1 mask. Patients can avoid costly hospital stays for inpatient nebulizing by doing it regularly at home. The Wright Mask requires less tubing than conventional masks and one Wright Mask replaces two conventional masks.

Commode and
bedpan liner

The Sani-Bag+ liner allows caregivers to properly clean a commode or bedpan in less than a minute simply by removing the bag, sealing it, and disposing of it; versus an average of 7 minutes with traditional cleaning methods. The biodegradeable Sani-Bag+ commode and bedpan liner contains a waste treatment powder that gels and treats up to 32 oz. of waste, preventing backsplash and spillage. By reducing contact with human waste and improving sanitation, Sani-Bag+ can help to prevent the spread of hospital acquired infections. Sani-Bag+ comes in an easy dispenser container that can be placed in a patient’s room. An odor neutralizer controls odors, allowing for overnight or multiple uses.

Patient safety labeling

Midazolam is one of dozens of drugs classified as "high-alert medications" by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) due to a heightened risk of causing significant patient harm if used in error. Baxter’s unique labeling includes a patents-pending tear-off label that requires clinician intervention prior to administration.
