nCPAP stands for: nasal Continuous Positive Airway pressure Medijet® supports spontaneous breathing of neonatal patients – premature as well as term newborn. Based on the Benveniste principle Medijet® provides an adjustable constant positive pressure in the patient´s airway applicated through short binasal masks and prongs.

Pulmonary gas transport can be improved and atelectasis prevented by nCPAP.

• Increase of FRC and improvement of lung compliance (1), (2)
• Based on Benveniste Valve with volume reservoir (6)
• Decrease of WOB (3), (4)
• Perfect combination with our medinCNO®
• Less noise level (5)
