Using Capnographs to Monitor Your Patients' Breathing

For the most part we tend to think that as long as we are getting plenty of oxygen into our lungs that all is well. While this is true, it is only half of the story. The other half of the story involves knowing that not only are we taking in enough oxygen, but that we are exhaling the right quantities of carbon dioxides. If you are going to monitor your patients' breathing properly you need one of the latest Capnographs.

You can use one of these Capnographs to see if your patient's lungs are exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide efficiently or not. While your patient needs to have the proper levels of oxygen in his system, having carbon dioxide levels that are too high can cause a wide range of medical complications. At the Medical Device Depot, we can help you find the latest capnographs at the lowest possible prices to ensure that you have the best diagnostic equipment possible.

Outfitting Your Lab with New Colposcopes

Keeping your research lab up to date with the latest colposcopes will allow you to obtain much clearer pictures of vaginal tissue as well as that from the vulva and the cervix. These images can be used to detect diseases such as cervical erosion, inflammation as well as cancer and the tumors associated with it.

Colposcopes are available from the Medical Device Depot in a wide variety of different designs and can be found with a large range of features. This includes both binocular and trinocular video ready models designed to provide you with high definition images that can help you make the best possible diagnoses of your patients far easier than at any time in the past. They are being built to be much easier to use with easy to access controls and zoom lenses to ensure that the entire process goes smoothly and provide you with the most accurate results available.

Equip Your Ambulance with the Latest Defibrillators

As an emergency medical service provider, every ambulance in your fleet must have the latest equipment including defibrillators on board at all times. The only problem with this is that the cost of this technology can often exceed the amount of money that has been made available. This can leave your EMTs trying to do their jobs with outdated gear and that can cost lives.

When you need to replace your defibrillators with much newer models, you will find that while the local medical supply store carries them, they are far out of the range of your budget. Those mail order catalogs that promise super low prices, generally don't pan out as they are almost always out of the "best deal" units. At the Medical Device Depot we never advertise anything we don't have in stock and guarantee our prices to be the lowest on the Internet.

Keeping a Close Eye On Cardiac Patients with Event Monitors

There is an array of different tests available for cardiologists to use in evaluating patients and in the past three decades this number has increased exponentially as equipment has gotten smaller and more accurate. Today it is possible to continue diagnostic testing while the patient is at home or in the hospital using portable event monitors.

Often referred to as Holter monitors these units are designed to be worn by the patient for periods of up to 24 hours and take readings at specified intervals. These readings are then stored in the internal memory until your patient returns the next day for his appointment. At this point you can print out the readings or transfer them to a computer and view them. You will find a complete selection of event monitors available at the Medical Device Depot at the lowest prices on the web.

Time to Update Your Fetal Monitors

Is it time for you to update your fetal monitors? For most obstetricians, fetal monitors are one of the most commonly used devices in the office. Each time a pregnant mother comes in for a prenatal checkup the first things she is likely to want, is to be able to hear her baby's heartbeat, which means that you cannot afford to have broken or barely functional fetal monitors in your office.

While this is an easy statement to make, the average office budget has been shrinking right along with the cuts in how much the state is willing to pay for those who are on state insurance. When you need new fetal monitors and your budget is screaming for used purchases only, you need to take a look at the prices in the online catalog at the Medical Device Depot. You might find that our prices on brand new monitors will fit into your budget as well as used units you would rather not trust.
