Kimberly-Clark/Ballad Medical Products

Ballard, now a subidiary of Kimberly-Clark, featured its Trach Care® closed suction system, an innovative product line including versions for neonatal, pediatric and adult use. Closed suction allows access to the distal airway while maintaining ventilation, PEEP, and oxygen delivery. The new Trach Care MAC™ Multi-Access Catheter provides sterile, precise surfactant delivery and is compatible with Ballard's Neonatal Y closed suction system. Both MAC and Neonatal Y are compatible with the latest generation of infant ventilators and high-frequency oscillators.
