CompuFlo Epidural & CathCheck
The CompuFlo Epidural Instrument offers one of the most meaningful advancements in epidural placement & women’s health since LOR syringes were invented 100 years ago.
The CompuFlo instrument offers the first objective way to confirm epidural placement and verify true loss of resistance.
CompuFlo Epidural Instrument Benefits
For the first time, epidural placement is OBJECTIVELY confirmed, supporting current practice which is SUBJECTIVE
99% success rate for first pass epidural placement using pressure sensing technology and pulsative waveform
Reduces the risk of complications including dural punctures and wet taps
Improves pain management of labor
and delivery patients through CathCheck, which can quickly
detect catheter migration
Significantly reduces training time for residents to become proficient in epidural placement and enhances safety for patients during the training period
Decreases length of stay due to complications and reduces cost to the health system
How It Works
Anesthesiologists can confirm catheter placement within seconds leading to better patient outcomes
