Description
The flexiVent lung function solution is the gold standard for in-vivo respiratory mechanics measurements. It goes beyond traditional resistance and compliance mechanics of pulmonary ventilation and captures details about the mechanical properties of conducting airways, terminal airways and parenchyma. The flexiVent achieves the highest sensitivity and reproducibility by precisely controlling experimental conditions.
Technical Specifications
