Depending on your needs and budget, you can go for new and refurbished laboratory equipment.

People usually look out for new and refurbished medical laboratory equipment for keeping their medical laboratory full-fledged all the time. A wide variety of instruments such as microscopes, centrifuges, balances, autoclaves, mixers and other medical equipment come into use in daily laboratory applications including sampling, weighing, emulsifying, vortexing and examination.

New Laboratory Equipment with Quality and Latest Technology Integration

If you are very much concerned about the quality and durability of the products you purchase, and not bothered about how much you spend on them, you can choose new laboratory equipment. New products are usually supplied with manufacturer warranty, ensuring long term flawless performance. Accessories and spare parts are also available with new ones. Post-sales services such as installation and maintenance services are offered by most of the companies supplying these products. Apart from these benefits, latest innovations in the industry are seen in the new laboratory equipment alone.

Refurbished Laboratory Equipment -Affordable Alternatives for New

Investing in refurbished laboratory equipment in your laboratories is a good practice, if you are a budget-minded person. They are an affordable alternative for new equipment. Refurbished ones maintain good quality as they are fully conditioned just as newer ones. On receiving damaged products, the dealers or the manufacturers pass them through different processes of reconditioning such as disassembling, painting, replacing, repairing and reassembling. Most of them provide warranty for each piece they refurbish. For replacing the problematic parts after refurbishing, they even provide you with the right replacement parts at no extra cost.

Reliable Dealers for Customer-oriented Services

New and refurbished laboratory equipment can be purchased from any medical equipment dealer or supplier. For this, you just need to make sure that these dealers have been in the field for many years, so that you can be assured of the quality of the services they provide. Extended warranties, time and material service visits, in-house services, service contracts and other customer-oriented services can be obtained from such dealers.

Clinical hematology analyzer analysis is one of the oldest and most important sectors of clinical laboratory analysis. The hematology instrument and reagent market is centered around a group of instruments called hematology analyzers. The term clinical hematology analyzer usually refers to an automated instrument for determining the presence, number and type of cellular elements in easily collected body fluids, such as blood. However, it is not necessarily limited to these determinations. The hematology analysis always includes determination of non-cellular parameters in blood, such as hemoglobin and hematocrit. Other closely related areas of clinical interest are coagulation and flow cytometry. In fact, traditional specialization barriers, such as microbiology, hematology, blood banking, immunology and even anatomical pathology are rapidly fading both operationally and instrumentally. But for the sake of defining the subject to a reasonable size, the more traditional scope of clinical hematology analyzer will be the focus of this examination. The purpose of this Publications report is to describe the specific segments of the global clinical hematology analyzer instrumentation and reagent marketplace. The review covers those segments that are highly active in terms of innovation and growth. Specifically, this study examines the markets for small-lab, as well as highly-automated large-lab, platforms and accessory equipment, such as reagents, supplies and add-on equipment from original equipment manufacturers.

BiCOM Inc. is proud to present its unsurpassed Trans-palpebral and Tras-scleral tonometer Diaton to the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery ASCRS on April 3th – 8th, hosted by the city of San Francisco. With FDA approval, CE MARK and now Health Canada approval opens many international doors for BiCOM Inc., a global distributor of Diaton tonometers.

Tonometry through the EYELID Tonometer Diaton is showcased at ASCRS 2009

Exhibition of Diaton tonometer to the members of American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) presents the opportunity for BiCOM to display the incomparable unique qualities of trans-palpebral and tras-scleral Diaton tonometry – tonometry through the Eyelid.

Diaton Tonometry is an unparalleled approach to measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) THROUGH THE EYELID – no contact with the cornea, no anesthetic drops or sterilization is required. BiCOM’s pen-like, hand-held, portable device is ideal for measuring eye pressure (IOP) and helps ophthalmologists and optometrists in diagnosis and prevention of blindness caused by glaucoma, the number one cause of preventable blindness in the United States. This ophthalmic device is irreplaceable for mass glaucoma screenings.

Diaton Tonometer will be showcased by Optimetrics Inc. Florida’s largest Hispanic Ophthalmic Leader. With well over 20 years of experience providing quality, new and used ophthalmic equipment and supplies to optometrists and ophthalmologists, and optical retailers. Optimetrics is located in Miami; one of the largest exporting and importing ports of the United States Optimetric offers the latest technology in equipment available today. State of the art showroom displays a variety of products ranging from a simple bulb to a visual field analyzer, chairs and stands, autorefractors, corneal topographers and much, much more.

The founder, Amado Diaz, was the youngest ophthalmic dealer in the country when he started Optimetrics, Inc. His training and experience cover a wide globe of suppliers in the ophthalmic industry from companies like BiCOM, Nikon, Topcon, Marco, Welch Allyn, Carl Zeiss, Tomey, RH Burton, Haag-Streit, HGM Laser, Sonomed, Canon, AIT, Essilor, Humphreys, Vision-Ease, Katena, and many others.

There is a notable benefit in patients after Refractive Surgery or with Corneal Pathology since the Diaton does NOT applanate the cornea. The Diaton tonometer is a clinically useful device in the IOP measurement of both children and adults. Diaton readings are independent of corneal irregularities such as thickness, crookedness, etc.

Tonometer Diaton is the perfect solution in the following cases when the use of other tonometry devices is problematic or impossible: Conjunctivitis, Keratitis, Keratotone, Cornea Dimness, Keratoplastics, Keratoprosthesis, LASIK, LASEK, PRK, Ametropy, Astigmatism, etc.

Miami, FL – Millions of men and women suffer from thread veins, manifest by unsightly little clusters of red, blue or purplish veins that spiderweb the cheeks, thighs, calves, ankles and knees. In fact, for Western populations like the US, it’s been estimated[1] that 25-30% of women and 10-20% of men suffer from this unsightly condition. But now there’s a thread of hope. Adding to its full suite of medical technologies, Techno-Derm, LLC, announced its exclusive distribution of Veinwave, a new, FDA listed device for eliminating thread veins, telangiectasia, psoriasis and rosacea.

Designed primarily for vascular surgeons and dematologists, Veinwave uses a revolutionary process called ‘thermo-coagulation.’ As tiny, extremely high frequency microwaves are applied to the affected skin, the inflamed thread vessels are heated. When this happens, veins do a disappearing act.

Until now, micro-sclerotherapy and lasers have been the most popular procedures for removing these veins. Unlike lasers, the Veinwave procedure isn’t painful, doesn’t carry a risk of long-term scarring and is over in 15 minutes. How is this possible? Veinwave’s ultra-fine, insulated needle makes for a highly targeted treatment that doesn’t irritate the surrounding skin tissue. That means there’s no bandages or recovery time. Within 15 minutes after a Veinwave session, patients can resume their everyday activities as if it never happened. As for micro-sclerotherapy, it works pretty well on the larger varicose leg veins, but it’s not too effective on the fine, thin veins of delicate facial, knee and ankle areas. But when paired with Veinwave, micro-sclerotherapy works perfectly.

Contact Information:

Veinwave is marketed and distributed in the US by Techno-Derm, LLC, 10800 Biscayne Blvd., Ste. 850 in Miami, Florida. Techno-Derm is an independently owned and operated distributorship of industry-leading beauty, health, wellness and sport technologies and supplies.

Dublin, CA, January 30, 2009 – Marketstrat Inc. is pleased announce the release of a new report titled, “Laparoscopic Devices Worldwide.”

The total worldwide laparoscopic devices market is estimated to have been $5.3 billion in 2008.  It is expected to grow at a cumulative annual growth rate of 7.2 percent over the 2008 to 2015 period.  The US will remain the biggest market; it is estimated to have accounted for about 48 percent of the world market in 2008.  The total U.S. market for Direct Energy Devices alone is expected to cross $500 million in 2009.  Advances in safety technology are expected to increase their use over next few years, as they take over functions of cutting and closure devices.

Many laparoscopic instruments are available as disposable, reusable or reposable devices.  Surgeon preference for these varies widely. While disposables are in high demand for convenience and reduced risk of contamination, cost containment efforts are driving the reusable and reposable market.

Among individual countries, the US is the largest market, followed by Europe and then Japan.  Market rankings of these segments are expected to remain largely the same over the forecast period.  In terms of product segments, internal closure devices account for the largest share of the market with female sterilization being the smallest.  Although internal closure devices do not necessarily have the highest ASPs, their use in all procedures accounts for large usage volumes, making them the largest product segment.

Leading providers of laparoscopic devices are Aesculap, Covidien (Autosuture, Valleylab), Cardinal Health, Ethicon and Gyrus ACMI/ Olympus.

This report can help in:
•    Assessing the market for Laparoscopic Devices, growth segments, and growth regions.
•    Understanding market drivers and restraints, and market segmentation and market ranking.
•    Business planning, strategic decision making and competitive strategy.
•    Identifying opportunities for partnerships and alliances.

Increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures from patients and a parallel increase in availability of trained surgeons who can perform an ever broadening range of laparoscopic procedures are major drivers of the laparoscopy market.   The trend is aided by the availability of a vast range of laparoscopy training programs provided by device manufacturers and research studies proving comparable or improved outcomes of laparoscopic surgery over open surgery.

The predominant technological advances that are driving the laparoscopy markets are hand-assist or hand-access surgery (HALS), Robotics and Active Electrode Monitoring (AEM®) systems.

Laparoscopic bariatric surgery will be the most important procedure impacting the future global laparoscopy market.  Rising obesity rates in many countries are fuelling a rise in laparoscopic weight loss procedures, in particular gastric banding.  This relatively simple occlusion technique is less expensive and has lower mortality rates than laparoscopic gastric bypass.   Gastric banding is also expected to penetrate the pediatric segment with mounting clinical evidence proving its safety and efficacy.

The primary market restraint impacting the laparoscopy devices market is that it is more expensive and time consuming, requiring greater surgical skill.  Costs of equipment and disposables, equipment maintenance, surgeon and nurse training are other contributing factors.

The new report from Marketstrat, titled ‘Laparoscopic Devices Worldwide’ provides market estimates and forecasts for Laparoscopy Devices by country/region (US $, 2007 – 2015) for: USA; Europe; Japan and the Rest of the World (ROW).  Detailed market forecasts (US $) for: Access Devices; Direct Energy Devices (Probes, Generators); Female Sterilization Devices; Gastric Banding; Hand Instruments; Insufflators; Internal Closure devices (Clip Appliers, Endolinear Staplers, Endostaplers, Endosuturing Devices); Laparoscopes (Rod Lens, Video); Reprocessed Laparoscopic Devices; Suction Irrigation Devices.
