Thopaz+ är nummer 1 klinisk referens för digital dränage

I nästan två decennier har Medela stakat ut vägen för teknologiska innovationer i hantering av thoraxdränage, uppbackad av en oöverträffad mängd klinisk forskning. Över 65 studier med över 9 000 patienter har uppvisat signifikanta fördelar med Thopaz+ för förbättring av patientresultat och stöder evidensbaserad dränageprotokoll.

Denna forskning fortsätter att växa, vilket stärker effekten och säkerheten för Thopaz+ inom thoraxkirurgisk vård.

Utforska vår omfattande lista över kliniska publikationer och upptäck varför Thopaz+ bör vara guldstandarden för kliniker som söker beprövade lösningar för digitalt thoraxdränage.
