PROACT are pleased to announce an improvement to our very popular Bridge General Purpose Temperature Probes which are now supplied STERILE at no extra cost to the customer.

Affordable, professional and reliable, Bridge’s versatile temperature probes can be used for oral, nasal or rectal introduction, with features that again offer some distinct advantages:

• Atraumatic shape, soft material and low friction surfaces
• Thin outer wall allows faster reaction to changes in core temperature
• Proven accuracy to +/- 0.01°C (measurement range 25°C to 45°C)
• Clearly marked with graduations to assist and confirm correct positioning
• YSI 400 series thermistors for maximum compatibility
• Latex Free, STERILE and single patient use for maximum safety

Bridge General Purpose Temperature Probes are available in Paediatric (9Fr) and Standard (12Fr) sizes in boxes of 50.   Quality Interface Cables are also available for all major manufacturer’s monitors, incubators and patient warmers for total compatibility.

Aware of the increasing pressure on NHS Budgets, PROACT will begin rolling out the new Sterile Sensors at no additional cost to the customer, in addition to offering free of charge interface cables with commitment volumes and volume discounts.

PROACT’s temperature monitoring range also includes skin contact temperature probes and two way Foley catheters with temp probes, both of which are also supplied sterile.   Please find full information at www.proactmedical.co.uk under Temperature Monitoring.

These products are available either Direct, from NHS Supply Chain, and from other official PROACT Distribution Partners in Northern Ireland, the Irish Republic and Europe-wide.

Please be aware that the CPR masks currently available through PROACT are soon to be supplied in PRO-Breathe branded protective cases, rather than the plain ones that you are used to.

The mask inside remains exactly the same as that which you are currently taking and the case will still be a bright and easy to spot orange colour. We have issued new part numbers in order to make it easy to manage stocks and the new part numbers are shown alongside the old ones below:

If you're a current customer, we will be in touch to let you know when our old stock runs low so that you can update your system.

Our single use BVM manual resuscitator sets are now also available via NHS Supply Chain. The 1600ml and 1000ml bags are now supplied with two masks (adult sizes 4 & 5) and the 550ml bag now comes with three paediatric masks at no extra cost.

Please do not hesitate to email us or call 01536 461981 for samples, further information or to request a quotation for any of these.

Many thanks to all those that visited our stand at the Obstetric Anaesthetists Meeting at Taunton Cricket ground last week.
