ECG Monitors

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a non-invasive method of measuring the electrical activity of the heart over time, using electrodes that are attached to the surface of the skin. Twelve-lead ECGs are used to record cardiac electrical activity at a specific point in time and are generally printed to create a permanent record. ECGs that use 3 or 5 leads are commonly used for continuous recording of cardiac activity in ambulances, during surgery and/or when patients are receiving anesthesia, and to monitor critically ill patients.

Medical Lasers

Medical lasers use precisely focused light sources to treat or remove tissue. Lasers use a specific wavelength of light, focused in a narrow beam, which creates very high-intensity light. When focused on a tiny area, they can cut through tissue, and can therefore be used in place of a scalpel in surgical procedures.

In the medical field, lasers are most often used for cosmetic procedures, including hair removal, rosacea and acne treatment, and removal of scars and stretch marks, and eye surgery, such as cataract treatment and refractive surgery for correcting vision. In dental practices, lasers are often used to disinfect root canals and remove decay, as well as to whiten teeth.

Veterinary Equipment

A number of worldwide societal factors, including a greater number of single-person households, dropping birth rates and the animal rights movement, have resulted in a trend to humanize companion animals. This trend has resulted in an increase in veterinary treatments using costly technologies and medications, and has had significant impact on the of veterinary equipment field.

Buying and Selling Used Medical Equipment on the Web

In recent years, selling used and refurbished medical equipment online has become a growth industry. Previously, used equipment was either simply discarded or purchased by major equipment manufacturers as a service to customers, or to encourage them to upgrade or switch

Infant Warmers

Many infants struggle to maintain body heat, even when ambient temperatures are high. Core and skin temperature can decrease by as much as 0.1˚ to 0.3˚ per minute following delivery as the infant moves from the warm, moist uterine environment to a cool, dry delivery room and amniotic fluid evaporates from the skin.

Prolonged hypothermia, defined as core body temperature of under 36˚, can result in hypoxia and hypoglycemia and cause
