BRAIN MONITORING BIS™ Complete 2-Channel Monitor

Everything you need to help tailor your anesthesia procedures for improved outcomes.

Overview

BIS™ monitoring provides an objective measure of the patient’s depth of consciousness, and combined with your experience, enables you to confidently monitor and tailor safe, optimal anesthesia for each patient.

Patient-Specific Drug Titration

Transforming Anesthesia Delivery — One Patient at a Time

 

Studies have shown reductions in the use of anesthetic drugs by as much as 50% in patients monitored with BIS™ technology:

  • BIS™ monitoring enabled a 50% reduction in propofol administration during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass2
  • End-tidal desflurane concentration was reduced by 25% compared with standard anesthesia-monitoring practice3
  • Titration of isoflurane using the BIS™ index decreased use of isoflurane and contributed to faster emergence of elderly patients undergoing elective knee or hip replacement surgery4
  • For asleep-awake craniotomy procedures, where titratable anesthesia is preferred to facilitate more predictable intraoperative wake-up, BIS™ monitoring can provide further information to guide drug administration and predict responsiveness.5

Improved Emergence, Recovery, and Discharge

Proven BIS™ Monitoring Outcomes

Optimal anesthetic administration improves patient outcomes and satisfaction, and may facilitate faster recovery and discharge by minimizing side effects and postoperative complications. Studies have shown that patients whose anesthetic dosing was guided by BIS™ monitoring required less anesthetic drug and experienced:

  • Faster extubation.1,3
  • Faster emergence.1
  • Better orientation at the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).1
  • Faster discharge.1,3

Reduced Incidence of Awareness

BIS™ Monitoring — Reliable, Proven

Studies show an 80% reduction in awareness has been demonstrated when using BIS™ monitoring compared to routine care in both intravenous (TIVA, total intravenous anesthesia) and inhaled drug combinations in anesthesia patients.6,7,8

With TIVA procedures, the incidence of awareness can be 5-10 times greater than with inhaled anesthetics as a result of the short-acting nature of some intravenous anesthetics used, along with the challenges of monitoring the patient’s level of consciousness. This is all the more reason that BIS™ monitoring is important — it may help reduce the incidence of awareness during TIVA procedures and during inhaled anesthesia. Read more

Pulse Oximeters

Pulse Oximeters

A blood pressure monitor may be one of the most recognizable medical tools we have, but pulse oximeters are a close second for the most-used medical devices. Pulse oximeters, or pulse ox, measure the amount of oxygenated blood (Spo2) in your body, giving medical professionals an idea of how much oxygen your body is carrying to vital organs and tissues.

Pulse oximeters for home use allow patients to monitor vital signs with an extra layer. These tools give you a better view of your health and allow you to coordinate with your healthcare provider. If you have a condition that affects your blood oxygen levels — think sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, lung cancer, or heart failure, among many other conditions — you may benefit from an at-home pulse oximeter.

Be careful, however. Many cheap models found on the internet don’t do much to measure accurately. They’re labeled “for recreational use” and aren’t going to give you the measurements you need. We’ve put together a list of fingertip oximeters designed to deliver accurate results and peace of mind.

Zaccurate’s Pro Series choice is an affordable yet highly accurate option for those on a budget. It’s accurate to within 2%, providing blood-oxygen levels, pulse rate, and pulse strength in about 10 seconds. The fingertip design is easy to use and suitable for most adults and children over the age of 12.

It comes with a silicone sleeve, a lanyard, and a full-year warranty with phone technical support. Batteries are included with the package so that you can start right out of the box. It’s easy to use and wallet-friendly.Read More..

Mini Coolplas-Update Generations Fat Freezing Cryolipolysis Machine

CoolSculpting was first approved by the FDA in 2010, and gained attention when it was rebranded from minor spot treatment to a noninvasive alternative to liposuction, promising to eviscerate love handles and bra bulge with the wave of a cooling paddle. Most recently, the non-surgical fat reduction tool was cleared to tackle loose skin under the chin, a smaller area that is more difficult to alter through natural means like diet and exercise. Sound too good to be true?

HOW DOES IT WORK?
CoolSculpting procedures use rounded paddles in one of four sizes to suction your skin and fat “like a vacuum,” says Roostaeian. While you sit in a reclined chair for up to two hours, cooling panels set to work crystallizing your fat cells. “It’s a mild discomfort that people seem to tolerate pretty well,” he says. “[You experience] suction and cooling sensations that eventually go numb.” In fact, the procedural setting is so relaxed that patients can bring laptops to do work, enjoy a movie, or simply nap while the machine goes to work.

WHO IS IT FOR?
Above all, emphasizes Roostaeian, CoolSculpting is “for someone who is looking for mild improvements,” explaining that it’s not designed for one-stop-shop major fat removal like liposuction. When clients come to Astarita for a consultation, she considers “their age, skin quality—will it rebound? Will it look good after volume is removed?—and how thick or pinchable their tissue is,” before approving them for treatment, because the suction panels can only treat the tissue it can access.

WILL IT MAKE YOU LOSE WEIGHT?
“None of these devices shed pounds,” says Astarita, reminding potential patients that muscle weighs more than fat. When you’re shedding 25 percent of fat in a handful of tissue, it won’t add up to much on the scale, but, she counters, “When [you lose] what’s spilling over the top of your pants or your bra, it counts.” Her clients come to her in search of better proportions at their current weight, and may leave having dropped “one or two sizes in clothing.”Read More..

Plamere Plasma Pen

The Plasma pen is the worlds most advanced, non-invasive, skin lifting, skin tightening and rejuvenation device used to treat wrinkles, skin tags and sagging skin. This treatment can be used for a number of procedures to dramatically enhance the looks without the need for costly and invasive surgery.

The Plamere Plasma Pen is an FDA approved device used to perform fibroblast therapy. Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in the body that produce collagen. Who doesn’t want more Collagen?? Collagen keeps the skin taunt and supple. This method can be used to treat multiple areas of concern without damaging the surrounding tissue.

How does it work?

The Plasma Pen harnesses the power of plasma. Plasma is the fourth state of matter along with Solid, Liquid, and Gas. The principle involves the ionization of gases from the atmospheric air to create a micro electrical discharge or ARC. The ARC never touches the skin, but causes a micro injury to the skin’s epidermal layer whilst simultaneously heating and disrupting the deeper dermal structure via thermal conductions. This is more commonly known as Fibroblasting. Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in the body that produce collagen.

What does it do?

This anti-aging treatment is based on a series of minute dots adjacent to the tension lines on the skin. This process triggers an immediate tightening, lifting, and remodeling of the skin. This technique is used to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin.

Your downtime may include:

  • Redness, swelling and scabbing in the treatment area
  • Average of 8 days downtime on the face and neck areas
  • Average of 10 to 14 days on the body, depending on the area being treated and the intensity of the treatment
  • Swelling usually begins the day following your treatment, and peaks around day 3
  • After day 3, swelling subsides and scabs form.
  • Scabs normally begin to fall off around day 6 and 7 (for face and neck)Read More..
