Skin and wound care management app
PointClickCare’s skin and wound smart phone app is a secure, HIPAA compliant, EHR-linked technology that assists clinicians with wound assessment and documentation. The app, which integrates with the PointClickCare EHR platform, measures wound images so that clinicians can quickly track and identify the exact current status of a wound’s healing progress, communicate more efficiently with colleagues, review analytics and provide outcomes data for the EHR. Powered by Swift Medical, the tool also automates best practices in documenting wounds, supports risk mitigation, compliance, and reimbursement via fewer wound care claims.

DePuy Synthes’s Distal Radius Sterile Kit is a pre-sterilized, single-use kit of instruments and implants to treat wrist fractures. The kit includes the company’s plate and screw implants with instrumentation designed to help optimize operating room efficiency and eliminate procedural sterilization costs. The Distal Radius Sterile Kit consists of one Variable Angle LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plate, a distribution of screws, and the required fixation instrumentation – commonly what is needed for up to 80 percent of distal radius fracture cases currently treated with plates and screws. The simplified composition of the kit is designed to drive repeatable, more consistent procedures and lower costs per case.
The Anzen safety scalpel from MediPurpose was engineered with a reusable, stainless steel handle to give it a weight and balance that is similar to a traditional scalpel. It has a protected blade that is easily extended and retracted with one hand, intuitively, like a box cutter. A disposable cartridge integrates the shield and sterile blade. The protected blade stays retracted while attaching and detaching the cartridge. A cartridge lock prevents blade exposure unless the cartridge is attached to the handle, and another lock prevents cartridge detachment when the blade is exposed. The slim cartridge design allows for an unobstructed view of the incision site.
