PROACT Medical are pleased to announce the launch of our new company website.

Designed and developed with simplicity in mind, the new site has been updated with a more contemporary look, and most importantly, is much easier to navigate to get you to where you need to be even faster.

As well as being easier to navigate, the new website now offers even greater product information and support with the addition of a specialised support site and renovated e-shop to compliment our new web presence, providing a resource of useful information which will be updated on a regular basis.

Our dedicated distributor and contact pages now make it even easier for customers to ensure that communications, quotes and queries are handled with speed and efficiency.

Our homepage now also contains quick links to our most popular brands such as Metal Max Laryngoscopes, the PRO-Breathe range of Airway Management and Resuscitation products, Nonin Pulse Oximetry and the Cheetah NICOM cardiac output monitor. Information for all of other products can be found on individual product pages on our e-shop.

Here, you can also find news on our upcoming events, latest product launches, press releases and so as we continue to grow and develop in to 2012, keep checking back for further information and exclusive special offers.

Enhanced recovery/fluid optimisation is a hot topic at the moment and PROACT Medical are pleased to offer a validated and safe solution for all patients from A&E to Theatre, ITU, HDU and Surgical Wards.

By using the Cheetah NICOM (non-invasive cardiac output monitor) from PROACT in the ward areas, the nursing staff that have been trained by PROACT Medical Specialists can ensure that fluid optimisation that was started in the Theatres continues during the crucial post-op surgical period thus helping to assist a swift recovery. Discharge from hospital may be possible days earlier, saving huge sums from already stretched hospital budgets.

In the UK, Dr David P Coates, Consultant Anaesthetist in Bristol has stated that, “Evidence now seems clear that clinical management and outcomes can be improved by guided volume optimisation. My pragmatic goal is to achieve this using a truly non-invasive technique that minimises observer bias. My experience with Bioreactance technology has demonstrated to me its advantage over Doppler methods that do not facilitate the straightforward continuation of measurement after surgery in the recovery room and beyond.”

The Cheetah NICOM system offers the clinician real-time haemodynamic insight costing from as little at £19.50 per patient and can be used on both conscious and unconscious patients to equal effect. The unit is compact and easy to use with four sensors applied to the chest.

PROACT Medical Ltd have just been appointed as the official European distributors for IntuBrite products and are very excited to add them to our laryngoscope range.

Representing the first real improvement in standard laryngoscope technology in the last 50 years, IntuBrite blades incorporate a secondary UV light source with a wavelength specifically tuned to deliver precisely the correct illumination. This provides their unique anatomy differentiating and almost glareless view.

Visit www.intubrite.com/slideshow.html for examples of the view that can be obtained. Each of our Area Sales Managers is equipped with an IntuBrite starter kit and would be happy to arrange to visit you to give a demonstration.  Please do not hesitate to contact us should you wish to arrange this or if you would like any more information.
