Four sizes of oral dispensers

EPS, Inc., offers four sizes of new oral dispensers. Available in 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-mL sizes in either clear or ultraviolet-inhibiting amber, these dispensers contain an innovative one-piece plunger construction that eliminates rubber grommets and silicone coating and facilitates an easy sliding of the plunger through the barrel. The dispensers are completely latex-free and contain graduations in both milliliters and fractionated teaspoon measurements. They also feature a unique tip design that facilitates easier oral and topical dispensing applications and prohibits acceptance of hypodermic needles. And the low-capacity tip reservoir reduces residual content and ensures maximum delivery of medication.

Light the way

Jeron Electronic Systems, Inc., announces the release of the Prism Dome Light, designed to reduce staff response times by displaying patient call status in an efficient and instantaneous manner. The coded lights are illuminated in facility corridors, allowing staff to respond without delay. Over 40 combinations of software-controlled color and light patterns can be programmed to represent call priority, room, and bed location. Additionally, as new calls are placed, the highly visible light patterns and colors automatically transform to reflect the current call priority. Installation of the system is uncomplicated: The graphic software is easily installed and the Prism Dome Lights connect via plug-in jacks, eliminating the need for an extra power cable.

Antimicrobial protection

Medcare Products introduces Antimicrobial Care Slings and Care Belts. Floor lifts, sit-to-stands, and ceiling lifts utilize slings to lift and transfer patients and residents (to and from a bed, wheelchair, or commode). Toileting, incontinence, wound care, and simply everyday use make slings and belts very susceptible to microbe growth. Built in during the manufacturing process, the antimicrobial protection won't wash or wear off, providing continuous antimicrobial cleaning that inhibits the growth of microbes such as bacteria, mold, and mildew, which can cause stains, odors, and product deterioration.
