A new barrier film, InteliShield, is available for ostomy applications. The film is PVC, PVdC and plasticiser-free, which can be less damaging to the environment than traditional films and can offer more costeffective disposal of intermediate waste. The film is also noise-free, soft and strong to help enhance ostomy patients’confidence and comfort. The film’s antimicrobial inner surface helps control odour, while additional layers provide enhanced strength and secure bonding.

The new Rigel Uni-Therm Electrosurgical Analyser is the quickest and easiest way to test all leading electrosurgical devices.

The Uni-Therm is able to calibrate ESU’s with high current vessel sealing modes thanks to an impressive 8A RMS maximum test current; whilst a highly stable internal load bank offers unmatched accuracy without the need for external loads. Suitable for all ESU devices, the load bank ranges from 0-5115Ω.

Conduct all high frequency leakage tests (as per IEC 60601-2-2 requirements) and reduce testing times with the easy navigation and step-by-step, on-screen, coloured connection diagrams.

The Uni-Therm has built-in analysis to test all contact quality monitoring systems and can simulate a fault to within 1Ω resolution.

With a footprint that’s 50% smaller, it is easier to use, transport and store than competitors. This all-in-one device reduces the complexity of ESU testing. You’ll need to see it to believe it.

The CFLU401 is a highly versatile lithotripsy/urology table, perfect for mobile or stationary use. The easy to use extension system is designed to allow over or under and left or right side of the table procedures. The table can be converted quickly to a full featured urology table for cystoscopies and other urology procedures. The four-movement table includes height adjustability, Trendelenburg tilt, longitudinal travel, and lateral travel. Easy patient transfers are achieved with the dynamic height range of 70cm – 116cm. The other motions allow for incremental adjustments during the procedure. Six radiolucent extensions attach easily to the table and offer many different configurations allowing the table to be customised for the procedure being performed.

A portable ultrasound system equipped with the latest real-time technologies such as TEI, XView and M-Vie, MyLabFive provides clear and detailed images even in difficult patient cases, as well as calculations and confidence in reaching clinical diagnoses. Superior ergonomics, attractive design, a 15′ high resolution colour TFT LCD monitor and a keyboard designed to minimise movements of the operator’s hand improve efficiency for the user as well as patient throughput. Different mobile and portable configurations contribute to extreme versatility. The different trolleys make the system suitable for various clinical environments including private practices, hospital departments and emergency centres. The integrated battery allows ultrasound examination to be performed at the point of care. Extremely flexible due to its modular and license-based architecture, the system is designed for a multi-application approach, and can offer multi-frequency convex, linear and phased array transducers, as well as dedicated special purpose probes, all of them lightweight and ergonomically designed. The easily upgradable platform allows the system to follow technological trends, ensuring investment value over a long-term period. Application-dedicated configurations widen the number of users, and allow a progressive investment based on clinical activities.

Electronically capturing and transmiting patient data to the EMR, the Connex Electronic Vitals Documentation (EVD) System provides clinicians in non-critical care settings with immediate access to accurate vital signs at any time and location. The system includes the Connex Vital Signs Monitor (CVSM), Accessory Cable Management Stand, Connex VM Software, and the new Welch Allyn Partners in Care Services programme that provides personalised support and installation. The CVSM is a full-colour, touch screen device that acts as three devices in one, providing comprehensive patient documentation on a single display. This documentation includes automatic measurements such as heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and pulse oximetry; manual parameters such as respiration, height, weight and pain level; and modifiers such as body position, O₂ therapy details and others. Alarms, patient data and monitoring can be controlled in a customised manner for each patient, and these data can be documented right on the device, eliminating the need to locate a PC and transcribe data later. The CVSM also enables two-way wireless communication from the bedside. It associates ID numbers to names to help clinicians properly identify patients and allows them to customise which ID fields are required and how they are displayed, including simultaneous display of multiple forms of ID. The wireless technology is built right into the system allowing the monitor to act as a true mobile device; it works with current wireless networks to deliver up-to-date patient demographics. The Accessory Cable Management Stand, with its unique accessory storage and cable routing system, is ergonomically designed for ease of use. All system components have their own compartment to allow quick identification and easy access. All supplies are on-board, and the stand is designed for ease of cleaning. The accompanying software automates the vitals documentation process eliminating errors. Users can document accurate patient data right from the bedside, and have instant access to data at any time or location.
