Wireless earbuds 

Research and polls show that hospital alarms, alerts, beeps and loudspeaker announcements and other noise create more stress to an already-stressful situation for most patients. Also referred to as noise pollution, the problem can also impact a patients' ability to rest, heal and recover, since it has been linked to the development of ICU psychosis, hospitalization-induced stress, increased pain sensitivity, high blood pressure and poor mental health. In an era of patient satisfaction solutions, Pamu Slide wireless earbuds may offer patients an escape from the noise and more pleasant hospital stay. The IPX6 sweat-proof system features include stable Bluetooth 5.0, high-quality sound and bass, auto pairing, touch control, 60-Hour play/call time, type-C fast charge wireless phone charger and carrying case.

The handheld, portable unit tests the insulation integrity of electrosurgical equipment for flaws in protective coatings applied over conductive instrument surfaces in order to prevent inadvertent tissue burns, which may occur during electrosurgical instrument procedures. It comes with a ground wire with alligator clip, ring electrode, tri-hole electrode, brush electrode, saddle, and case and more. The Bi-Polar Fixture accessory that works in conjunction with the saddle, ground wire and brush electrode can be purchased separately.
