Easy Access to 9 Electrosurgery Modes
Megadyne's Mega Power electrosurgery generator features dedicated and intuitive push-button activation of 9
electrosurgery modes, including the company's
Advanced Cutting Effect that is said to give surgeons
scalpel-like precision with minimal collateral damage to
surrounding tissue. The device's Constant Control
Technology automatically monitors tissue impedance
and adjusts cutting power to reduce tissue drag, resulting in accurate and clean cuts at lowest-possible energy settings, according to the company. A large display
lets the surgical team easily check the generator's settings, even from a distance. Staff can recall and scroll
through previously used power settings for convenient
and quick setup between cases.

Endoscope Sheath Protects
and Pre-Cleans
The DeRoyal ProShield, a single-use sheath for
fiber-optic bronchoscopes, helps to protect the
delicate devices from damage during transport,
while also allowing pre-cleaning to begin immediately after use. A reprocessed scope is inserted
into the funnel-shaped mouth of the rigid, latexfree sheath, in which it can be stored and carried
safely to a procedure. Once the case begins, the
"Clean" label is removed from the sheath, revealing the "Dirty" label. After the case, the scope is
replaced in the sealed-bottom sheath along with
enzymatic rinsing solution and taken to central
sterile. Once reprocessed, the scope can be hung
in a new, clean sheath, ready for its next use.
