The Kimberly-Clark Microcuff Pediatric Endotracheal Tube, an airway management solution designed to meet the unique needs of children, features a micro-thin cuff that effectively seals the airway at ultra-low cuff pressures to reduce the risk of airway trauma.

Anatomically based marks assist in optimal tube placement, and the tube’s design makes it possible to more safely position the cuff lower in the trachea to minimize cuff pressure on the delicate upper airway tissues of pediatric patients.

When used together, the Edwards Vigileo monitor and FloTrac sensor provide continuous cardiac output (CCO), stroke volume (SV), and stroke volume variation (SVV) from an existing arterial line. Continuous SVR is calculated and displayed when interfaced with the patient's bedside monitor. The Vigileo monitor and FloTrac sensor require no manual calibration for the monitoring of flow parameters.

The R Series defibrillator offers several firsts in the area of simplifying operation, according to Zoll Meical Corp. It includes a OneStep System that provides a single cable for pacing, monitoring and defibrillation. It also includes one electrode set through which clnicians can monitor, pace, defibrillate and get real-time feedback on chest compressions, also known as Real CPR Help.

USCOM is a CW doppler-based hemodynamic monitor that provides real-time information from either the right or left side of the heart. The technique is entirely noninvasive, with no patient risk and no proprietary disposables. USCOM has been validated against bench flow models, flow-probes, echo, PAC and artificial hearts in animals, pediatrics and adults.

The system provides information regarding preload, contractility and afterload and has numerous applications in the PICU, ED, MICU, burn and trama units. On-site training is provided.

Second-generation Mobile Medication and Mobile Computing Carts are designed to support a variety of medication delivery systems in acute and long-term care facilities.

IPIX computers now include an antimicrobial additive that aids healthcare facilities with infection control efforts. The computers’ sealed cabinets, fanless operation and sealed, washable keyboards also assist facilities in this area.

InnerSpace’s line of Harmony storage and procedure carts are available with standard drawer configurations or can be customized using the “Build-A-Cart” option (using 3-inch, 6-inch and 9-inch drawers or similar-sized trays and baskets).

A locking drawer can be used in conjunction with trays and baskets for medications and syringes. Heavy-duty plate casters , central key-lock and a pullout writing surface are standard. Optional electronic keyless entry is also available, which incorporates an auto re-lock feature, low battery indicatory and manual key override.

Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corp. has received FDA clearance to market TenoGlide Tendon Protector Sheet in the US. The product is indicated for the management and protection of tendon injuries in which there has been no substantial loss of tendon tissue. It is an advanced tendon protection device, composed of a porous matrix of cross-linked collagen and glycosaminoglycan (GAG). The collagen-GAG resorbable matrix provides a protective, biocompatible interface, which creates a favorable environment and gliding surface for tendon healing.

April 10, 2007 - Tepha Inc. announced that the FDA has cleared its TephaFLEX Absorbable Suture product for marketing in the U.S. The TephaFLEX Absorbable Suture is the first medical device derived from a new class of biopolymers that is the product of patented recombinant DNA technology developed by Tepha and licensed from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The TephaFLEX material has biological and mechanical properties that are uniquely suited for implantable medical devices.

April 10, 2007 - Jupiter Medical Center chose a joint wireless solution from AT&T Inc. and Palm Inc. to deliver McKesson's Horizon MobileCare Rounding solution. The combination of these technologies enhance Jupiter Medical Center physicians' access to patient information by allowing them to pull the most current data - in or outside the hospital - to support more informed decision-making and improved workflow.
