In the medical industry, perhaps what matters more than the medicine is what is written on the bottle. After all, how does one know what is being prescribed if there's no label on the medicine? This is where the role of Medical Labels comes in.
Labels for Medical Equipment act as alert mechanisms for patients and doctors. They not only provide information on the name of the medicine, but also its directions for use, dosage, details on side effects (if any) and, of course, price and date of expiry. For doctors, they also...

When working either in a clinic or in a lab, one instrument that is used very commonly to carry liquid is called a pipette. This is a bigger version of the medicine dropper and works on the same principle of creating a vacuum to draw up the liquid, which is released when this is pressed.
In order to ensure accuracy at all times, this instrument needs to be calibrated. This depends on four important factors namely; the skill of the people working in the lab as well as the handling of such equipment, the type ...

When you visit your doctor for your annual checkup or for any other reason, there are several things that you most likely take for granted. You assume that the nurse will be wearing scrubs and will check your weight and blood pressure. You also probably assume that the doctor will come in wearing a tie and a lab coat of some kind. You might also expect that your visit will take much longer than need be. Another thing that we take for granted is that most of the nurses and doctors that we will see in our exam room or passing in the halls will be wearing a stethoscope slung around their...
Many doctors like to personalize their stethoscope by putting a cover over the tube. Stethoscope covers come in many different colors and shapes. Many pediatricians use stethoscope covers shaped like animals. Other doctors like denim or cotton stethoscope covers. Stethoscope covers serve a number of purposes. For one thing, they can protect the fragile rubber tubes from wear and tear. Doctors can also identify their stethoscope by the cover if they happen to misplace it or let someone else borrow it. Many pediatricians find that kid friendly stethoscope designs can have a calming effect o...
Long stethoscopes are stethoscopes with long tubes. When the length of the tube increases, the resonant frequency decreases. An increase in the length of the tube provides a better response to lower frequency sounds. Many heart sounds that fall below 150Hz are considered low frequency sounds. The human ear is least sensitive to low frequency sounds. Improved low frequency response is the advantage of using long stethoscopes for auscultation purposes.
While purchasing a stethoscope, a practitioner must consider his own requirements. A long stethoscope is suitable for a practitioner wh...
Take a moment to think about what happens when you get on an airplane. Before the plane takes off, the flight attendants outline safety procedures and inform you that, should the oxygen masks drop down, you must put yours on before you help anyone else. This is an excellent metaphor for self-care.
Many adults with ADD skimp on self-care. It’s not easy to balance the many demands of family, career, health, friends, and personal interests. Add ADD to that mix and you can get some very overwhelmed and overworked adults who sacrifice their own self-care in order to take care of eve...
A Typical infusion set is made up of the pump connector, a length of tubing and the needle or cannula. Different sets suit different people and it is important to experiment when you first get your pump, to find out what works for you. If you are having problems with unexplained high sugars when using your insulin pump and you are confident your control should be better, the chances are that it is due to problems with the infusion set. Tiny blockages can build up in the needle or cannula that the pump can't detect. Changing the infusion set regularly (typically every 24 to 72 hours depen...

Professor Rober F Curl, the US-based scientist who won Noble Prize in Chemistry in 1996, today said nano tubes were non-toxic and could be used in bio-medical research. Speaking to the press here, Mr Curl said the use of nano tubes in the bio-medical industry would not have any harmful effects.
Rather it would help speed up research. There would be no side-effects in using nano-tube elements while conducting research, he claimed.

Commodity plastics will remain dominant with better opportunities anticipated for engineering plastics as a result of greater needs for higher performing materials. Leading commodity resins include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene, polyethylene and polystyrene. Thermoplastic polyester and polypropylene will exhibit the best growth due to opportunities in pharmaceutical and medical product packaging. Demand for engineering plastics will ...

Demand for medical plastic in the US is forecast to expand 2.6% annually to 5 bln pounds in 2012, valued at US$6.55 bln as per a report by reportlinker. Growth will be driven by the greater use of disposable plastic medical devices and supplies, as well as plastic packaging products. An aging populace will entail a rising incidence of acute and chronic conditions and an increasing volume of patient activity. Plastic medical products and packag...

Portable Medical Applications: Whether developing a blood glucose meter, digital blood pressure meter, blood gas meter, digital pulse/heart rate monitor or even a digital thermometer there are five system level blocks that are common to each one: Power/Battery Management, Control and Data processing, Amplification and A/D Conversion of the sensor input, some type of display and the sensor element(s) itself. In general these are all microcontroller controlled ha...
Business-to-Business (B2B) is a term commonly used to describe commerce transactions between businesses like the one between a manufacturer and a wholesaler or a wholesaler and a retailer i.e both the buyer and the seller are business entity.This is unlike business-to-consumers (B2C) which involve a business entity and end consumer, or business-to-government (B2G) which involve a business entity and government.
The volume of B2B transactions is much higher than the volume of B2C transactions. The primary reason for this is that in a typical supply chain there will be many B2B tran...
Physicists in Finland and Japan have invented a new type of electronic that relates temperature directly to the Boltzmann constant. Although not the first device to do so, the team say that their thermometer could easily be mass produced and therefore could be used as a highly accurate laboratory instrument as well as a calibration standard.
The current definition of the unit of absolute temperature is very messy indeed - the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) in Paris defines the Kelvin as 1/273.16 of the ...
Pump maker Disetronic announced on May 29 that its new Ultraflex Soft infusion set is now available for all insulin-pump users.
The Ultraflex Soft has a reversible connector at the base that "clicks" into place. In addition, it has a cannula that is tapered for easier insertion.
"We built this product from the ground up, using patient input to create the right features," says John Odegard, marketing manager for Disetronic. "The Ultraflex is different from the Quick-set and Sof-set because ...

The purpose of the Wheelchair housing design guide is to explain how to design and detail a home that is fully manageable by wheelchair users and that maximises their independence.
It is activity based and discusses design considerations, requirements and recommendations for each of fifteen activities carried out within and around the home, rather than presenting plans or preferred solutions.
Checklists are provided.
This second edition takes account of the experience of individual wheelchair users and of practitioners who have used the original guide, and reflects the new level of st...
