Since its inception in 2021, ReddyPort has successfully served over 17,000 patients with our BiPAP oral access devices (suction yankauer, toothbrush, and swabs). These devices are designed to reduce BiPAP failure rates by addressing barriers to effective airway secretion management, which can lead to mucus plugging and impaired gas exchange. ReddyPort provides the only system on the market enabling effective BiPAP airway management and essential oral care without mask removal, preserving lung compliance.
​
How effective is current BiPAP airway suctioning and oral care practices? A comprehensive review indicates that 30-50% of NIV failures are attributed to persistent gas exchange impairment. This is often seen in conditions like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or pneumonia, where loss of lung compliance or inadequate positive pressure contributes to ineffective gas exchange.²
How can ReddyPort improve BiPAP patient outcomes?
Simple: BiPAP airway management and oral care without mask removal allows bedside clinicians and patients to self administration routine oral suctioning, suction swabbing and suction toothbrushing on a protocol that best fits your patients needs.
What is ReddyPort?
​
ReddyPort is the first and only oral care and communication system on the market that allows clinicians to provide dry mouth relief, routine oral care and effective communication WITHOUT BiPAP® mask removal!
With ReddyPort, caregivers now have an easy-to-use tool. The tool can be used by the patient, the patient’s family member, or the caregiver to deliver compliant oral care without the risks of mask removal.
