This may sounds like a B-movie on the
Sci-Fi Channel, but the
CA-MRSA
scare is all too real - one of
several health alerts this year that proved just how vulnerable we
are despite all our scientific know-how and
advances in medicine. Bacteria,
living organism made of one cell has mastered gene manipulation,
enzyme technology, personal defence and technology transfer.
Six Bacteria are among the biggest threats infectious diseases
physicians (Medical profession) face today.
Enterococcus faecium,
Staphylococcus aureus,
Klebsiella species,
Acinetobacter baumannii,
Pseudomonas
aeruginosa,
Enterobacter
species are now said to be resistant to
most antibiotics and antiseptics. So "Your
life is in their hands" because doctors are now
debating about
To Wash or Not To Wash Hand
Invasive practical procedures,
operations, plastic surgery, transplant surgery, hip or knee
replacement, open heart surgery, bypass and minor surgical
procedures will soon come to a grinding halt. The very technology
we’ve created to help us live more comfortable and, yes, often
healthier lives will turn around and
bite us-hard.
The Number of
disposable medical
products used to perform simple practical
procedures in providing
the best health
care has now escalated to catastrophic proportions. Bacteria are
resistant to antibiotics and
antiseptic
lotions used to
prepare skin. Discarded
contaminated hospital waste is also helping to spread antibiotic
resistant bacteria in hospitals and the community.
Our mission is to provide the best possible
available health care products which will ease technique, reduce
stress and
trauma. By reducing disposable product wastage due to failed
attempts to introduce intra vascular cannula, catheters and
endotracheal tube we could stop introducing bacteria, contaminated
waste, and
environmental pollution.
We have developed three new products for use in the hospitals
to help reduce the threat of antibiotic resistant bacterial
infections in the hospitals.
Our aim is to improve upon an existing
technology, by designing to serve a need that is clearly defined
and acknowledged by medical professionals. Each technology will
fill a current need in medical procedure by improving upon an
existing technology or device. Each product shall appeal to a
caring healthcare workers.
Most countries are struggling to offer
comprehensive health care to their populations. The way doctors
perform practical procedures must therefore undergo changes in
order to reduce spreading infections that threaten our profession
and our very existance.
Politicians promise changes, and are keen to
implement them, but are unable to deliver. We are thinking ahead
and working towards changing theoretical idealism into practical
reality. Our team of experts have performed these practical
procedures and are now determined to bring in changes to protect
their profession and their patients.
Medical device manufacturers and marketing
companies have been telling us how the device must be designed.
These manufacturers and marketing consultants have never performed
these practical procedures nor have they experienced the trauma.
We perform these practical procedures every
day and now feel it is
un-ethical to introduce infections,
inflict pain and discomfort to our patients.
