The MASS Exchange Cart System is a full-size cart that is a mobile supply solution for organizing surgical units. Featuring 18-inch-by-18-inch ABS trays and wire baskets in 3-inch, 6-inch and 9-inch heights, the trays and baskets slide out on molded ABS side panels for restock.

The TRUMPF iLED uses 184 white and color LEDs to provide 160,000 Lux of low heat, virtually shadow-free illumination. One of its most unique features is that it gives the surgical team — for the first time ever — the ability to change color temperature.

Bathed in warm, non-glare light (about 3,500 Kelvin), skin and light tissue parts reflect less and the contrast remains intact. Colder light colors (up to 5,000 Kelvin), however, were preferred in tests for deeper lying body areas and for longer surgeries.

The OxyView medical device is a pneumatic flow meter that provides a visual cue, viewable with the human eye, as to the flow of gas through a cannula, which conventionally employs very low pressure and gas volume to the patient wearing it.

It’s adapted to be engaged between the nose or mouth-mounted cannula, where a compressed oxygen supply is delivered to the cannula through a flexible conduit.
OxyView delivers an easily readable confirmation of actual continuous flow and volume of oxygen.

PRN ThermalCare is now cleared as a Class II Thermal Regulating Device. PRN’s design provides patient warming with heated pressure-reducing OR table pads. At the same time, heats IV fluids and irrigation fluids without adding clutter and equipment to the OR. Non-disposable, the product warms all patients on contact with no major decisions or extra nursing time.

When finished with the day, physicians can easily download the patient warming history and have a complete record of patient and fluid warming.
