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, n...

Intraocular Lens; a Lens Implanted In the Eye as Part of a Treatment for Cataracts

Image
                                    Intraocular Lens An intraocular lens (or IOL) is a tiny, artificial lens that replaces the natural lens of the eye through cataract surgery to restore both near and distant vision. To treat cataracts, the cloudy lens is surgically removed and replaced with an IOL to restore vision (both near and distant). A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. For people who have cataracts, looking through a cloudy lens is like looking through a frosty or foggy window. Cataracts occur as a natural part of the aging and are the leading cause of blindness in people over 60. According to the National Eye Institute, the number of people in the United States with cataract is expected to double from 24.4 million to about 50 million by 2050. Thus, with the increasing prevalence of cataract and growing geriatric population worldwide, the demand for intraocular l...

                                                                                                                              Dentures Dentures are artificial teeth or prosthetic devices used for replacing missing teeth. They are supported by surrounding hard and soft tissues. Most conventional designs are removable, however, there are some that are fixed to the mouth with dental implants. In most cases, dentures are the best option if the patient has several missing teeth, or is in need of a quick and convenient way to replace all of them. In the process of making dentures , the dentist uses an initial impression to create a model of a patient’s mouth, which is later used to f...
