Short-wavelength ultraviolet C or UV-C offers a chemical-free approach to disinfection. The compact size, high optical efficiency and eco-friendliness of UV-C LEDs is revolutionizing disinfection—creating new applications that were not possible with mercury lamps. UV-C LEDs enable applications such as healthcare disinfection, water and air purification, and surface disinfection of products and consumer appliances. .

Automated External Defibrillators (AED) are medical devices that can analyze a heart’s rhythm. Electrical impulses generated in the heart’s ventricles, when they have no regular pattern, indicates specific conditions exist. The AED analyses the rhythm and if indicated, a fully automatic AED will deliver an electric shock to the heart to try and get it […]

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) helps us visualize the structures of the body that include water and fat molecules. MRI is a technique for taking very clear and detailed pictures of tissues and internal organs using high frequency radio waves delivered in pulses and a strong magnetic field. .

Ultrasound waves are beyond the level of human hearing and are used medically for non-invasive testing and measurement. Ultrasound wave frequencies technically start at about 20kHz, but most ultrasonic transducers start at 200kHz. With very short wavelengths, ultrasound is good for detecting small details. . .

Digital X-ray is changing the way radiology departments operate. Digital technology provides a significant reduction in exposure to radiation, improves the quality of diagnostic images, and eliminates the very large cost, both economically and environmentally, in chemical processing costs versus traditional analog x-ray systems. .

Over two-thirds of U.S. adults weigh more than they should, estimates the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. But regardless of country, obesity has generally been a growing concern among the health-conscious – and, of course, most body weight management plans will at least require one instrument: the weigh scale. .
