Microlife WatchBP Office ABI

Dual cuff pressure monitor for the assessment of ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) and the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF). During a rest period of at least 5 minutes, the blood pressure is measured in both arms simultaneously to determine which has the highest and to screen for AF. Next, the arm with the highest blood pressure and both legs are measured simultaneously. WatchBP software then facilitates an automated ABPI assessment within 4 minutes. Validated by the NHS Technology Adoption Centre. System comprises cuffs, mini USB port, rechargeable battery pack and an automated office blood pressure measurement device.

MicroMatrix

Easy-to-use dermal repair matrix in powder form that allows intimate contact with all parts of the wound, even in irregular-shaped and/or deep wounds. An extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from porcine urinary bladder matrix (UBM) technology, it provides an environment that supports new tissue formation and wound healing. It is acellular, minimally-processed, non-crosslinked and completely resorbable and is associated with a modified inflammatory response.
