Smiths Medical Dosi-Fuser This DEHP-free fixed-flow-rate infuser for pain management features an elastomeric balloon inside a plastic shell to provide a continuous flow of medication to targeted areas. It's avail- able in 13 different designs that infuse between 100 ml and 250 ml of medication in 12 hours to 7 days. The clear plastic shell protects the balloon and includes volume markings, which provide patients with an important visual indicator that the infuser is working. Four models of the 250 ml pumps have dual catheters, so they can infuse medications to separate sites. Codonics Mobile Device Disinfection Tablets and smartphones are becoming commonplace in the OR, but are they properly disinfected before being used at home? Your staff and surgeons can send their mobile devices through this unit, which employs UV-C technology at close proximity to kill bacteria on surfaces and in crevices where wipes don't necessarily reach.
