Providing high-quality respiratory support is one of the most critical aspects of neonatal care. In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), ill newborns — especially those born prematurely or with respiratory complications — rely on advanced respiratory equipment to breathe effectively and receive the oxygen they need. From high-frequency ventilators to gentle nasal aspirators, specialized devices play a life-saving role in neonatal respiratory support.
At International Biomedical, we design state-of-the-art equipment that helps NICU teams deliver precise, gentle respiratory care. In this guide, we’ll explore some of the most important respiratory devices used in NICUs.
Common Types of Respiratory Equipment in the NICU
In the NICU, respiratory support devices range from simple oxygen delivery tools to highly advanced ventilators. Some infants may need only supplemental oxygen, while others require mechanical ventilation or continuous airway clearance to maintain healthy breathing.
Common NICU respiratory equipment includes:
- Ventilators – Machines that deliver oxygen directly to an infant’s lungs.
- CPAP Machines – Devices that provide continuous positive airway pressure to help babies keep their lungs open.
- Nasal Aspirators – Tools to remove mucus and keep nasal passages clear.
- Nitric Oxide Delivery Systems – Equipment that delivers inhaled nitric oxide to improve oxygenation in babies with pulmonary issues.
AeroNOx 2.0: Advanced Nitric Oxide Delivery for Neonatal Respiratory Support
The AeroNOx 2.0 Nitric Oxide system is an advanced nitric oxide delivery device designed specifically for neonatal patients in transport environments. In general, nitric oxide therapy is an essential treatment for premature newborns and infants experiencing persistent pulmonary hypertension. By delivering small, controlled amounts of nitric oxide during transit, the AeroNOx 2.0 helps relax blood vessels in the lungs, improving oxygen exchange.
What sets the AeroNOx 2.0 apart is its precision delivery system, ensuring each infant receives the correct dose. It integrates easily with existing NICU ventilators, allowing seamless therapy for neonates already receiving mechanical ventilation. With built-in safety features, such as continuous monitoring and alarms, AeroNOx 2.0 ensures safe, reliable treatment when every breath counts.
TXP-2D High-Frequency Infant Ventilator: Innovative Ventilation Technology
For the most fragile infants, standard ventilation during transit may not be gentle enough. The TXP-2D High-Frequency Infant Ventilator offers a more protective option, delivering tiny, rapid breaths to maintain lung inflation while minimizing pressure-related injury.
High-frequency ventilation is particularly beneficial for preterm infants with underdeveloped lungs and infants experiencing severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The TXP-2D allows for customized frequency settings, making it adaptable to each neonate’s unique condition during transit. Its user-friendly interface and advanced monitoring features give NICU teams full control, ensuring infants receive the most gentle, effective respiratory support possible.
BBG Nasal Aspirator: Essential Airway Clearance for NICU Infants
In the NICU, keeping nasal passages clear is essential for babies who rely on oxygen therapy or ventilatory support. The BBG Nasal Aspirator offers a safe, gentle solution for removing mucus and ensuring unobstructed breathing.
This infant nasal aspirator works in tandem with nasal saline drops to gently loosen thick mucus before suctioning. Its soft, flexible tip ensures comfort, while the easy-to-clean design simplifies infection control. For infants with congestion, the BBG Nasal Aspirator helps maintain clear airways and promotes easier breathing.
How Advanced Respiratory Equipment Improves NICU Outcomes
Respiratory support is not one-size-fits-all, especially in the NICU where each infant’s condition varies widely. By combining innovative devices like the AeroNOx 2.0, TXP-2D High-Frequency Infant Ventilator, and BBG Nasal Aspirator, NICU teams can tailor treatment to each infant’s exact needs.
Advanced equipment helps:
- Reduce complications from ventilator-induced lung injury.
- Improve survival rates in infants with pulmonary hypertension.
- Enhance comfort and breathing for babies with congestion or airway obstruction.
- Ensure safer, more efficient delivery of oxygen and medications.
The result is better respiratory outcomes, improved long-term lung health, and fewer invasive interventions.
