This is an applicator for delivering octyl-blend cyanoacrylate monomer for use in wound closure. If you are unfortunate enough to fall and sustain a wound deep enough to need medical attention, you may find your wound being closed by one of these devices.

The applicator contains the monomer in a glass ampoule, which extends the shelf life, and negates the need for refrigeration.

The winged actuator provides an easy ‘click-and-use’ functionality which breaks the glass ampoule and expresses the cyanoacrylate monomer through an integral filter to the precision tip. This helps achieve precise wound closure and usually excellent cosmetic results.

This is an RFID enabled cabinet to be used as a secure store for unmanned dispensing of a wide range of goods and clothing.

Stock levels contained in the cabinets are constantly monitored and access is controlled using swipe card or PIN. Users can be given a credit limit which limits access.

The cabinets are designed to be used by hospitals, schools, hotels and anywhere where staff need to access clean garments.

These cabinets eliminate the need for storerooms and storeroom staff. Their modular design means that a number of cabinets can be linked together provide more storage as needed.

A special version of the cabinet is available for returned soiled garments.

New generation of electro-surgery devices

This is an electro-surgery forceps device which incorporates an automatic activation switch, which activates the current when the forceps are squeezed to a certain pressure.

Traditionally, electro-surgical forceps have been operated via a foot switch, which means that the surgeon has the added task of having to keep one foot balanced on the switch while performing delicate surgery.

This device frees the surgeon to adjust his feet position to a more comfortable and relaxed stance, improving his balance and coordination.

The device comes in two configurations, one with smoke evacuation and one without.
Smoke evacuation is the ability of the device to use a vacuum pump to draw air from around the tips and away from the working area.

Electrosurgery produces some smoke and vapours while in use. There has been increased awareness of the potential effects to the health of staff and patients from breathing in surgical smoke, along with reduced visibility in the surgical site and the unpleasant odours.
