An evolution in our understanding of high flow therapy over two decades has resulted in the Asymmetric™ F&P Optiflow Duet interface.
Using our Asymmetric design, i.e., both a small and large prong, we can amplify key mechanisms of action to not only deliver but enhance high flow therapy.1
Asymmetry… a story of evolutionary advantage
Just as F&P Optiflow™ Duet capitalizes on unexpected design, these critters have evolved to embrace asymmetry as their superpower.

Perfectly imperfect, the cockeyed squid has mastered the art of seeing in two places at once.
High flow therapy – enhanced.
The Asymmetric design provides greater total occlusion which increases pressure.1
Dead space clearance is increased by creating unidirectional flow which purges expired gas.1

This short video explains the key mechanisms of action of high flow, driven by flow and humidification.
Why is the reduction of dead space so important?
