- Early patient mobility
LEVO fully enables early mobility protocols as per the ERAS guidelines. - Early chest catheter removal
Fluids above valve and a depressed bulb are early indicators of lung expansion and thus speeds up chest catheter removal. - Less effort
Shorter setup, easy management, easy drainage of the collection chamber. - Cost savings
Early mobility and chest catheter removal equals shorter hospital stay.
Less effort saves ICU nursing time
Less complications save costs.

Health economics
1. The effect on length of stay
Early patient mobilization shortens length of stay: patients mobilise up to three days faster, leave hospital 30-50% sooner, and incur up to 49% less costs.
LEVO is compact and lightweight and can be orientated in any way, helping patients mobilize.
Unique indicators assist in faster clinical decisions.

2. Safety and Complications
Maintains the seal, even if knocked over.
Tube clamping is never required.
Safe and easy patient transport.
Simplicity equals safety.
* Mattoli et al, 2008
3. Addresses ICU nurse shortage
OR: Connect & drain, no setup
ICU: Saves time, simple to use
Easy patient mobilisation
No need to replace canisters
Less training required
Less complications
* Xu et al, 2021
4. Approved for outpatient management
Low probability for user error & complications.
Patients can perform self-care activities with reduced risk of harm.
Lower probability of hospital acquired infections.
* Massongo et al, 2014
5. Fewer units used
Only one LEVO needed per chest catheter.
Fewer canisters are procured, stored and discarded as medical waste.
LEVO saves costs at every step of the supply & ‘in-use’ chain.
