Delivering medical-grade, certified clinical disposables direct from our advanced ISO Class 7/8 manufacturing facilities to hospitals, distributors, and tender buyers across Montevideo and the interior of Uruguay.
In severe respiratory management, exact control over the Fraction of Inspired Oxygen ($\text{FiO}_2$) is a non-negotiable determinant of clinical outcomes. Venturi masks—also referred to as variable concentration oxygen masks—operate upon the fundamental principles of fluid dynamics governed by the Bernoulli Principle and the Venturi Effect. By accelerating oxygen flow through a fixed-diameter orifice, a localized negative pressure zone is created, drawing ambient air into the stream at a precise, pre-calculated ratio. For respiratory clinicians operating within Uruguay’s public health network (ASSE - Administración de los Servicios de Salud del Estado) and private mutual health organizations (Mutualistas like CASMU and Médica Uruguaya), sourcing Venturi masks with verified entrainment accuracy is paramount to preventing hypercapnic respiratory failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.
The accuracy of a Venturi mask relies entirely on the micro-machining tolerances of the color-coded diluter valves. As oxygen travels under pressure through the narrow nozzle inside the diluter, its velocity increases while static pressure decreases. Ambient air ports situated downstream allow room air (21% $\text{O}_2$) to blend with the pure oxygen stream. The ratio of air to oxygen dictates the final concentration delivered to the patient's airway:
| Diluter Color Code | Target $\text{FiO}_2$ Concentration | Required Oxygen Flow Rate (L/min) | Air-to-Oxygen Entrainment Ratio | Total Flow Delivered to Patient (L/min) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blue | 24% | 2 L/min | 25:1 | 52 L/min |
| White | 28% | 4 L/min | 10:1 | 44 L/min |
| Yellow | 31% | 6 L/min | 7:1 | 48 L/min |
| Green | 35% | 8 L/min | 4.6:1 | 45 L/min |
| Pink | 40% | 8 L/min | 3:1 | 32 L/min |
| Orange | 50% | 12 L/min | 1.7:1 | 32 L/min |
When total gas flow exceeds the patient’s peak inspiratory demand (typically 30 to 40 L/min in dyspneic patients), room air entrainment around the edges of the mask facepiece is eliminated. This ensures the patient breathes the exact prescribed $\text{FiO}_2$, protecting individuals with hypoxic drive dependent COPD against oxygen-induced hypercapnia.
Manufactured using 100% medical-grade, DEHP-free PVC. Soft, crystal-clear anatomical shell design minimizes skin pressure points while providing full visibility of mucosal patient status.
Integrated safety relief valves and exhalation ports prevent $\text{CO}_2$ rebreathing in the event of primary oxygen source pressure drop, exceeding ISO 10651-4 safety criteria.
Includes 2.1-meter star-lumen inner tubing designed to maintain continuous gas delivery even when accidentally bent, crushed, or twisted during bed transit.
Uruguay boasts one of the most structured and centralized healthcare delivery systems in South America, governed by the Ministry of Public Health (MSP - Ministerio de Salud Pública). The National Integrated Health System (SNIS - Sistema Nacional Integrado de Salud) bridges public hospitals under ASSE and private insurance conglomerates. For global medical device manufacturers and export suppliers targeting Montevideo, Salto, and Paysandú, understanding localized operational dynamics is critical.
Uruguay experiences distinct Southern Hemisphere winter seasonality (May to September), resulting in sharp surges in acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (EPOC). Public intensive care units (ICUs) and emergency wards scale up oxygen therapy consumable inventories months prior. Mediplus maintains strategic manufacturing stock reserves to ensure continuous container shipments via direct maritime lines arriving at the Port of Montevideo during peak seasonal demand.
Importing single-use medical disposables into Uruguay mandates product registration with the MSP under Decreto 3/008. Importers require complete technical dossiers containing ISO 13485:2016 quality system certificates, EU CE Mark declarations of conformity, biocompatibility data (ISO 10993 series), and validated ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization release records. Mediplus provides turnkey regulatory support packages, including legalized Certificates of Free Sale (CFS) and apostilled technical files, ensuring streamlined approval for Uruguayan distribution partners.
Centralized purchasing managers across Montevideo hospital groups prioritize vendors offering unified critical care supply lines. By combining respiratory products (Venturi masks, endotracheal tubes, tracheostomy lines) with vascular access consumables (haemodialysis catheter kits, CVC kits, AV fistula needles), buyers optimize shipping freight costs, simplify customs clearing, and leverage consolidated tender volume pricing.
Established in 1988 in Vatva, Ahmedabad, India, Shree Umiya Surgical Pvt. Ltd. (SUSPL), operating globally under the Mediplus brand, has grown over 36+ years into a premier high-volume manufacturer of sterile single-use medical devices. Spanning seven clinical divisions and exporting to more than 70 countries, our facility operates on complete vertical integration—from medical polymer compounding to automated injection moulding, cleanroom assembly, EO sterilization, and final cartoning.
Our state-of-the-art cleanroom environment operates strictly under ISO Class 7 and Class 8 standards, featuring positive air differential pressure, HEPA filtration, and strict gowning protocols to eliminate micro-particulate contamination.
Every product batch undergoes 100% Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization, released only after rigorous testing against biological indicators, bioburden counts, and EO gas residue limits (<4 mg/g per ISO 10993-7).
Our manufacturing plant utilizes a large-scale rooftop solar photovoltaic installation, powering cleanroom operations while significantly lowering the carbon footprint of every unit shipped to global buyers.
Key answers regarding compliance, shipping to Puerto de Montevideo, OEM private branding, and batch quality control.
We supply a complete regulatory dossier compliant with MSP Decreto 3/008. This includes our ISO 13485:2016 certificate, CE MDR documentation, ISO 10993 biocompatibility test reports, real-time stability data, batch sterilisation validation, and an apostilled Certificate of Free Sale (CFS) issued by the competent national authority.
Standard catalog items ship from our plant in 3 to 4 weeks post order confirmation. Shipments route via major container ports (Mundra or Nhava Sheva) directly to the Port of Montevideo, Uruguay, with transit times typically ranging between 30 and 40 days depending on the ocean carrier service.
Yes. We specialize in contract manufacturing and OEM private labelling. We customize primary pouch artwork, outer carton packaging, shelf boxes, instructions for use (IFU in Spanish), localized GS1 barcodes, and Unique Device Identification (UDI) data according to your brand guidelines.
For standard catalog SKUs under the Mediplus brand, the MOQ starts at one master carton pallet per item. For OEM private label packaging programs, minimum order requirements typically start at a single mixed 20-foot sea container.
