Stryker Physio-Control LUCAS 2 Features
The Stryker Physio-Control Lucas 2 is a chest compression system that can be used in Sudden Cardiac arrest patients. The LUCAS 2 provides high-quality, consistent chest compression, increasing the patient’s circulation and chances of a successful outcome. The Compression system can perforate at a rate of 100 compressions per minute. The Stryker Physio-Control Lucas 2 is a lightweight system that comes in a backpack and can easily be applied to a patient. The Stryker compression system consists of an upper part that contains a pneumatic driven piston rod, to achieve the best compression and a backplate. The System does not require any electricity to run it is powered by breathing oxygen or air from a wall outlet.
- The device maintains consistent chest compression over a long period of time.
- Used to perform external cardiac compressions on adult patients who have circulatory arrest defined as the absence of spontaneous breathing and pulse and loss of consciousness.
- The backplate gets positioned underneath the patient as a support for the external chest compressions.
- The upper part contains the proprietary and rechargeable LUCAS battery and the compression mechanism with a disposable suction cup.
- About 45 minutes battery runtime.
