Microflow is primarily used to supply supplementary oxygen to infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

BPD is common in very low birth weight and pre-term infants that have needed mechanical ventilation or have been treated with high oxygen concentrations due to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)/ chronic lung disease (CLD).

The risk of RDS/CLD is inversely related to birth weight and gestational age.

Infants may need very low supplementary oxygen for many months to compensate for underdeveloped lungs.

• Enables baby to receive oxygen therapy at home, putting families together sooner and increasing parent satisfaction
• Less time in hospital, lower cost of care
• Accurate, repeatable steps
• Micro step changes in flow
• Enables low flow rates to achieve target saturation
• Enables oxygen flow to be weaned
