{"product_id":"heimlich-valve-large","title":"HEIMLICH VALVE - LARGE","description":"HEIMLICH VALVE - LARGE  \nThe Heimlich valve - large is a semi-rigid, one-way flutter valve designed for thoracic drainage in veterinary applications, particularly in medium to large-sized animals. It allows air (and possibly small amounts of fluid) to exit the pleural cavity during exhalation and prevents backflow during inhalation, supporting lung re-expansion and aiding in the management of pneumothorax or pleural effusion.  \n\n\u003ch2\u003eMain Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e  \n- Semi-rigid cylindrical design suitable for use in large animals  \n- Facilitates passive evacuation of air (and minor fluids) from the chest  \n- Prevents inward airflow, maintaining negative pressure  \n- Allows greater mobility compared to traditional underwater seal systems  \n\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h2\u003e  \n- Semi-rigid plastic cylinder containing a one-way rubber flutter valve  \n- Includes connectors compatible with chest tubes with a funnel hub or tubes with an internal diameter of approximately 8.5 mm to 12 mm  \n- Includes a male Luer adapter for connection to compatible chest tubes  \n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstructions for Use\u003c\/h2\u003e  \n- Connect the valve to the distal end of the chest drainage tube sized appropriately for the patient  \n- Ensure the valve is oriented to allow air to exit and prevent entry into the pleural cavity  \n- Use under veterinary supervision; a qualified veterinarian should determine usage details based on species, body weight, and clinical condition  \n\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage Size\u003c\/h2\u003e  \n- One unit (one valve per package)  \n\n\u003ch2\u003eNote\u003c\/h2\u003e  \n- Valve operation depends on sufficient expiratory effort; it may be less effective in small animals or those with respiratory weakness  \n- Frequent monitoring is recommended to detect potential blockage due to secretions or valve malfunction","brand":"MILA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44625076256861,"sku":"H5300","price":173.88,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/0106\/7101\/files\/H5300.jpg?v=1784003251","url":"https:\/\/shopivet.com\/es-eu\/products\/heimlich-valve-large","provider":"Shopivet.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
