Thornhill Medical Boosts MADM™ Production for Extreme-Condition Mobile Gas Anesthesia

27 November 2023 | Monday | News

Thornhill Medical announced that it is accelerating its manufacturing of its MADM™ mobile anesthesia delivery technology. As current and future global conflicts and humanitarian crises grow, military and humanitarian medical teams need lighter, compact, and more portable medical equipment that can withstand austere, extreme, and unpredictable deployment environments.

Approved by both FDA and Health Canada, MADM™ easily connects to any ventilator to safely and accurately enable gas anesthesia. The lightweight and compact design of MADM™ make it ideal in more challenging environments such as field hospitals and forward-deployed surgical scenarios. MADM™ is quick to set up, easy to use, and has a small footprint – exactly what is required when time and space are at a premium, and mobility is required.

At just 7.1 lbs (excluding battery), MADM™ is about the size of a 2-slice toaster and can easily be hand-carried or attached to Thornhill Medical’s MOVES® SLC™ integrated life-support system to quickly and efficiently stand up a forward surgical capability.

When MADM™ is paired with the circle-circuit ventilator and oxygen generator embedded in MOVES® SLC™, MADM™ can reuse gas anesthesia, providing an elegant means to decrease anesthesia consumption. This proprietary MOVES® SLC™ circle-circuit removes the need for large amounts of compressed oxygen that may not be available when facing the tyranny of distance or other logistics challenges.

“We know that surgical care in the far-forward setting needs solutions that promote agility, mobility and are self-sufficient while overcoming contested logistics and supply chain interruptions,” says Lesley Gouldie, President and CEO of Thornhill Medical. “We are also experiencing an increased demand for our MOVES® SLC™ integrated life-support system which is why it is imperative that we are ready to support our combat and humanitarian partners to help save more lives with our companion MADM™ technology.”
