STILL, the Most Innovative and Versatile Coaxial System that...
• Protects both inspiratory and expiratory machine ports with a single, dual-chamber, high efficiency filter• Helps maintain patient body temperature as reported in independent studies1,2,5
• Reduces the torque on the airway device, because the lightweight flex tubing can be: > Custom shaped near the airway > Expanded to the ideal length between patient and machine to minimize draping
• Reduce the number of circuit lengths stocked, due to flex tubing that expands to multiple lengths
• Minimizes circuit types stocked, because the Flex2 can be used wherever an adult or pediatric two-limb
is used > Whenever an adult or pediatric two limb is used the effective inner and outer diameter is
equivalent to a standard two limb pediatric circuit.
> Elbow of the Flex2 has no more dead space than a pediatric 2-limb wye
• Requires significantly less storage space, because flex tubing is packaged at its most compressed length

KingFlex2 Filter and HME Performance Data5,6
* Bacterial efficiency determined per test method ASTM F2101, which simulates the actual airborne transmission of Staphylococcus aureus in water droplets.6
** Viral efficiency determined per test method ASTM F2101, which simulates the actual airborne transmission of bacteriophage phi x174 in water droplets.6
*** Particulate efficiency determined per Nelson Laboratories’ test protocol, which transmits dry and inert 0.3um airborne particulates. An efficiency of >99.97% is a requirement for a filter to be rated as HEPA.4
