& Paykel Optiflow Nasal Cannula with therapy-matched flows
Nasal high flow therapy supports patients by providing heated, humidified respiratory support at flows a standard cannula cannot reach. The Optiflow cannula is the interface that delivers it, sized in small, medium and large to match the patient. Fisher & Paykel's Optiflow systems documentation pairs the small cannula with flows of 10 to 70 L/min and the medium and large with 10 to 80 L/min. The therapy is delivered by devices such as the Airvo systems or the F&P 850 system. These cannulas are supplied in cases of 20 for hospital use.
