Fortunately, modern wound monitoring equipment like cast removal device can help in detecting changes in the skin and the surrounding tissues. In addition, it will provide clinical staff with reference data that can help them determine the effectiveness of the casting process.

While cutting out a plaster cast may seem easy to do, it's a highly specialized process that requires trained medical personnel. There is a risk of injury when removing a cast. Several different types of cast removal device are available, including electric and skin-tight cast cutters. However, a blade made of stainless steel is best for unpadded casts. For larger casts, one can invest in small surgical instruments. An electric cutter can help to remove a large plaster cast without harming the skin. For smaller casts, one can use a smaller version of the instrument. A full-sized bandsaw may not be safe for small cuts. These advanced devices include burs, drills, reamers, and taps that maintain a constant cutting velocity throughout the cast. 

The casts are removed with the use of a cast saw. The cast saw has a flat rounded metal blade that is thin enough to cut through the cast without damaging the skin. The cast is then spread out with a special tool to ease it off. The next step is to remove the stockinette and protective padding. The removal of the cast shell is done using scissors. The process of removing the cast is a long, meticulous process.

Traditional plaster casts have several disadvantages. They are cumbersome, can cause sores, and are prone to itching. The casts cannot be washed or exposed to water. This is why 3D-printed casts have gained popularity as a better alternative. These lightweight, water-resistant, and breathable casts can be used by pediatric patients. A good quality medical device will not cause any damage to the patient or the surrounding area.

                                                                                                         Label-Free Array Systems Label-free array systems are widely used in the drug discovery process by biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. A system works on principle of optical interferometry, impedance-based assays, and refractive index to identify and validate new molecules as the possible drug candidates. Moreover, the system helps to reduce the cost and time for drug identification and validation process. In the past few years, label-free array systems have taken center stage as an effective research tool in all major clinical drug discovery processes. Label-free array systems comprises two types of biosensors, namely optical and impedance-based biosensors, including techniques such as bio-layer interferometry, isothermal titration calorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, and others. Of which, surface plasmon resonance is the most commonly used technique. The main advantag

Cataract Surgery Devices have significantly improved over the years with rising emphasis on the safety of the patient and accuracy of the surgery

Image
                                                          Cataract Surgery Devices Cataract surgery involves replacing the natural lens of the eye with an intraocular lens. The condition causes a cloudy vision. The natural lens of the eye has become opaque. In order to correct this problem, a person may need this procedure. The surgery is commonly known as a lens replacement. Although it is not a traumatic procedure, it can be painful and requires several sessions. However, it is not the only option for this condition. A high-frequency ultrasound device is used during cataract surgery. The surgeon will remove the lens with the use of a suction device. The surgery can be done on the day of the procedure. A temporary prescription eye shield will help to recover faster. After the procedure, the patient will still need to wear glasses or contacts. One can even start a new activity right after the surgery. The process of recovery varies depending on the specific needs and the extent of the
