Letter addressed to our customers

Discover the new upholstery colors for exam and multifunction tables, stools and blood drawing chairs!

It’s now possible to order your Midmark and Ritter furniture with the new colors. 

The former colors are available until October 31, 2018. It’s time to complete your current furniture set.

In addition to the new upholstery colors, Midmark has changed the color of the steel structure and drawers of the Ritter 204 Manual Examination Table along with its accessories, such as armrests. The same applies to the Ritter 281 Blood Drawing Chairs, the Ritter 253 Exam Lights, and the Ritter 255 Procedure Lights. The new color for the metal and plastic components corresponds to the MIST PAINT COLOR in the new color palette. 

The new colors are also available on the Ritter 222 Power Exam Table which is currently part of a clearance sale.

Doit-on dire garrot ou tourniquet ?

Lorsqu'on parle d’une bande élastique permettant d’interrompre la circulation sanguine dans un membre, on utilisera le terme garrot.

Par exemple, lors d'une prise de sang ou de la pose d’un cathéter, on se servira d'un garrot.

Dans ce sens, le mot tourniquet est un anglicisme. Le terme anglais fait référence au mode de serrage par torsion à l'aide d'un bâton (le tourniquet) des garrots en tissu. 

En outre, si on parle de l'instrument employé en situation d'urgence servant à comprimer l'artère principale d'un membre et arrêter une hémorragie externe, on parlera aussi d’un garrot.

On dira alors : « Les secouristes ont posé un garrot au-dessus du genou de la victime. »

En revanche, un garrot qui fonctionne avec la méthode du tourniquet, consistant à augmenter la striction à l'aide d'un bâton de 10 à 20 cm, pourra être appelé tourniquet.

Not a week goes by without the media addressing the issue of opioid overdoses, mainly involving fentanyl. Pictures of caretakers administering naloxone have become a familiar sight.
You wonder which retractable needle syringes are provided by pharmacists as part of the Program for free access to naloxone and certain other supplies.

The manufacturer of BpTRU 100/200 Digital Blood Pressure Monitors has announced a complete stop in the production of the devices as well as their parts and accessories.

Simultaneously, Welch Allyn is featuring the Connex Spot 7000 Series Vital Signs Monitor (basic model) at a special discount price of $1,148 (until December 31, 2017). This device most closely resembles the BpTRU.

What’s more, Welch Allyn’s Flexiport One-Tube Cuffs with a Screw-Type Connector (WALREUSE091SC up to and including WALREUSE131SC) are compatible with the BpTRU Electronic Blood Pressure Monitors.

*These monitors must be used with a Wall Mount (WAL7000GCX), a Mobile Stand (WAL7000MS3) and a Power Supply (WAL7000PS) - sold separately.
