Offering The Cutting Edge in Products and Service


 

Extracoporeal Circulation

PPAI Medical™ provides the latest in cardiopulmonary, platelet gel and wound care technology. The capital equipment and disposable supplies we offer are included free of charge in our long term contractual agreement with our clients.

 

Please don't hesitate to call us for an estimate on our products, service or both in combination.

 


 

Percutaneous Circulatory Support

 

Complications from angioplasty can occur in some patients, but major complications are unusual. A very small percentage of patients need emergency coronary bypass surgery when the procedure fails to open the artery. This is less common with the use of Percutaneous Circulatory Support For High Risk Angioplasty Procedures. PPAI Medical™ provides this service for free standing and hospital based Catheterization Laboratories.

 


ECMO

 

The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to treat severe respiratory failure in the full-term infant with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the neonate (PPHN) has grown dramatically in recent years.

 

The ECMO Registry recently documented that 1,006 cases had been treated in 1989 for a total of 3,597 in the last 10 years.

 

PPAI Medical™ is proud to offer this delicate service to our clients.


Blood Conservation

 

PPAI Medical™ work diligently to improve safety of the blood supply. Blood collected today is 100% tested, and donors are carefully screened. This has dramatically reduced but not eliminated the risk of transmission of disease through blood transfusion. There are other risks associated with blood transfusions to include immunological reaction to the donor blood, and transfusion errors. Although the risks of blood transfusion are small, many patients prefer to be transfused with their own blood.

 


Preserving Your Heart

 

Myocardial preservation during cardiopulmonary bypass is the key component of bypass surgery that paralyzes the heart allowing the surgeon to apply the delicate sutures in your bypass vessels. Proper preservation of the heart will greatly effect the outcome of bypass surgery.  PPAI Medical™ take this measure very seriously and provide state of the art equipment and training for the safest myocardial environment for bypass surgery.

 


Counterpulsation

 

Reducing Mortality

Cardiac performance was significantly improved in patients who received IABP therapy prior to their surgery resulting in a 60% reduction in mortality.

 

Shortening Lengths of Stay

Patients who received preoperative IABP support experienced 34% shorter hospital stay.
